Title: Amusement and exercise device

Abstract: An amusement and exercise device for use by one or two participants comprises a thin disc and a looped cord which passes through apertures in the disc. A pair of waistbands are secured to the opposed ends of the cord and are adapted to fit around the midsections of the participants. The disc is first set in spinning motion by a participant spinning the disc by hand, and the motion is maintained by each participant moving his waist inward and outward. A pair of hollow, tubular hand grip members are slidably mounted on the remote ends of the cord enabling respective outer end loops to be formed for securement either around body portions of the user or alternatively around a belt worn by the user.
