ABSTRACT:
A non-gravity type resistance exercise apparatus which is small, light weight, highly versatile, safe and easy to use. The apparatus includes a compact, self-contained selectorized resistance module that embodies a plurality of discrete elastomeric cords that can be quickly and easily selectively coupled with a gripping member to provide precise resistance to movement of the gripping member during the performance of a large number of different kinds of exercises by the trainee. The apparatus also uniquely includes a supporting frame of limited height to which a pulley carrying exercise arm is pivotally connected for movement between a lowered, compact storage position to an intermediate position to a raised latissimus exercise position.
