More Information
Summary:A unitary exercise machine having a single set of weights but permitting a wide range of progressive resistive exercises is provided for home or apartment use. The apparatus has members that are telescoped between the ceiling and the floor to provide stability during an exercise program. Two pulley systems are employed in alternation to transmit the lifting force of the weights to an over-the-head bar and to a station near the floor for lower torso exercises. The latter pulley system is connectable with a press bar in the middle region of the machine for the completion of squats, curls and the like. Noise absorbers are placed on individual pin-held weights and the bulk of the machine is minimized to make it suitable for home or apartment use. The machine has a support frame with cross bracings that are in non parallel planes. At an exercising station there is mounted a slip-on boot that engages a user's ankle while the latter is performing an exercise.
