ABSTRACT:
An adjustable resistance exercise machine including a pulley system and a cable connecting a handle to a weight. The handle is shaped to permit a free range of motion and an essentially unlimited number of exercises. Specifically, the handle is an angulated non-planar J-shaped tubular rod having a first end portion forming the stem of the J, and at least three segments forming the loop of the J. The second end portion of the rod forms the last segment of the loop of the J and lies in a first plane with the adjacent segment. The first end portion and the first segment lie in a plane at an angle to the first plane. A body engaging member is rotatably mounted on the first end portion of the tubular rod. The body engaging member may be a sleeve for the user to grip or a cuff for strapping onto various pats of the user's body, e.g., the foot or ankle.
