An exercise apparatus for use as a user performs knee-bending exercises while maintaining his balance over his feet includes a grip stably mounted adjacent the user and which is capable of being grasped and held with a hand of the user as the user bends his knees between bent and extended conditions. When held with the hand during the performance of a knee-bending exercise routine, the grip stabilizes the user and thereby enables the user to maintain his balance over his feet with relative ease. The grip of the apparatus is particularly well-suited for use during the performance of a squat exercise routine during which a weight-laden yoke is moved between elevated and lowered positions as the user repeatedly moves between standing and squat positions. The weight-laden yoke includes a yoke portion positionable across the neck of the user. The yoke portion is pivotally attached to weight-laden carriages guided on vertical rods. In one embodiment, the grip is cooperatively attached to the weight-laden yoke so that when the weight-laden yoke is raised the grip is lowered and vice-versa.
