This invention concerns exercise equipment, intended for training upper body mussels by imitating the movement that is conducted in conjunction with paddling. The exercise equipment is equipped with a moveable handle that is connected to at least one energy-accumulating unit. The energy-accumulating unit is preferably comprised of an elongated elastic element consisting of a stretchable material. When using the exercise equipment the handle is moved in the axial direction of the equipment thereby accumulating energy in the energy-accumulating unit. Through the continuing motion the accumulated energy is released from the elongated elastic element and thereby returned to the person exercising. Use of the exercise equipment in accordance with the invention is a more effective way to develop upper body muscles than using traditional walking poles. Furthermore, a positive side effect is created when tensions on leg muscles are reduced.
