<p>An exercise apparatus (10) including a base structure (12) having a resistance assembly (14) and a user support member (16) is disclosed. The apparatus further includes a first user interface (18) pivotally mounted to the base structure for rotation about a first axis (21) at a position allowing an exerciser to comfortably sit upon the user support member, extend a leg and engage the first user interface. The first user interface includes a distal end (22) to which a foot plate (24) is secured and a central pivot (26) which rotates about a second axis (25) substantially perpendicular to the first axis. The apparatus also includes a cable (28) linking the first user interface to the resistance assembly for the application of resistance as the user rotates the first user interface by extending a foot to exercise the user's calf muscle.</p> |
