ABSTRACT:
An adjustable and configurable exercise machine having a base sitting on the floor to which is pivotally attached an adjustable seat mechanism. Attached to the seat mechanism at a point located between the pivotally attached end and the seat is an arm actuated handle. Near the pivot is an adjustable pivot point to which is attached an adjustable control link. The purpose of the adjustable pivot point is to change the leverage ratio and the purpose of the adjustable control link is to change the position of the handle relative to the user. The second end of the adjustable control link is attached to a vertical upright member of the base frame assembly. A counter force capability is provided to counter the weight of the user. The user in a first use sits on the seat astride the machine with the feet on the foot rests and pulls with the arms and pushes with the feet. In a second use the pivot pin attaching the adjustable control link to the seat mechanism is removed and the handle is rotated against the seat. The user stands at the rear facing forward with the hands upon the transverse handle bar and pushes the handle downward against the counterforce thus promoting exercise. In a third exercise the user sits on the floor behind the machine with the handle bar also collapsed against the seat. The feet are placed against the rear of the foot rests with the heels on the floor and the hands grasp the transverse handle and pull the bar downward
