EXERCISE APPARATUS

摘要

The present disclosure relates to an exercise apparatus for supporting a range of resistance exercises, including exercises for providing bi-directional resistance to both the upper and lower body over a wide range of positions. The exercise apparatus includes a base having a platform disposed thereon. An at least one elongated member is pivotally attached at its proximal end to each of the first and second ends of the base, and disposed in opposing relationship to form an at least one pair of opposing elongated members. An open loop resistance assembly is associated with each of the at least one pair of opposing elongated members. The resistance assembly functions to provide resistance against the direction of force applied by the user.

主权项

1. An exercise apparatus comprising:
a base having an upper surface and a lower surface, and first and second ends; a platform disposed on the upper surface of the base and attached thereto, the platform for supporting a user; an at least one elongated member pivotally attached at its proximal end to each of the first and second ends of the base by a connector, and disposed in opposing relationship to form an at least one pair of opposing elongated members; an open loop resistance assembly associated with each of the at least one pair of opposing elongated members, the resistance assembly for providing resistance against the direction of force applied by the user; and a cable operatively connected to the resistance assembly and slidingly engaged with the distal end of each elongated member of each of the at least one pair of opposing elongated members, the cable for transmitting the force applied by the user to the resistance assembly, thereby engaging the resistance assembly to provide resistance against the direction of the force applied by the user.
