An exercising device for a person\s feet while he is seated, thus promoting good health particularly in those people who do not walk enough, such as older or confined persons; the device consisting of a pair of foot pedals that pivot about a hinge below the heel and against the action of a return spring so that when the pedals are pushed downward by feet placed thereupon, the pedals return upward again, including a compressible roller pivotally secured to each pedal whereby downward movement of the pedal causes the roller to move along the pedal over the users foot to provide a massaging action.

A foot pedal exerciser comprising a base plate with a bracket secured thereto having a horizontal hinge pin mounted therethrough spaced from and adjacently parallel to said plate, said braket being secured to the midpoint of the pin, including a pair of pedals pivotally mounted on the pin, symmetrically on both sides of the braket in further combination with a pair of springs coiled about the pin having terminal portions contacting the pedals and the plate biasing the pedals to open positions whereby the free ends of said pedals are at a maximum distance from the plates, including tension members connecting the pedals and the plates restricting movement of said free ends to said maximum distance, said members offering no resistance to closing movement of said pedal free ends, in further combination with a lever pivotally secured to each pedal, including a compressible roller rotatably secured to each lever above each pedal, said roller having an axis parallel to the axis of rotation of said pedal about said hinge pin, each lever being secured to each pedal between the roller and hinge pin and including a lower end movably engaging said base below said pedal whereby downward movement of the pedal causes the lever to pivot and move the roller along the pedal.
