<p>An exercising apparatus is disclosed which can be easily collapsed for shipping or storage but which is easily assembled for use. The apparatus includes an upper frame member pivotally attached to the forward end of a longitudinally extending lower base frame member. The upper frame member supports a seat including a bottom that is movable so as to be parallel to the frame member for shipping or perpendicular for use. An elongated rod has one end pivoted to the upper frame member. The other end is pivoted to a collar that surrounds the base frame member and moves along a length thereof between a shipping position where the frame members are parallel to each other and an operative position where the upper frame member extends upwardly. A pin and aperture arrangement locks the frame members in the selected position. A pair of movable arms with handles connected to an adjustable force resistor allows a user to perform a variety of exercises of the arms and upper body. The force resistor includes a plurality of elastic elements mounted for pivotal movement between operative and inoperative positions so that any combination of the elements can be used. Squats can also be performed by the user placing his feet on foot support blocks located at the rear of the apparatus, grasping the movable arms and extending his legs against the force of the force resistor.</p> |
