ABSTRACT:
The exercising machine has support legs (12), a pair of support members (16) and one or more resistance elements (22) in the form of elastic bands. The legs and support members are pivotally interconnected. The nature of the pivotal interconnection is such that the legs and support members can assume operative and inoperative states. In the operative state the legs define a stand and the support members are supported by the stand. The support members can themselves be pivoted relative to the stand to various inclinations to provide different forms of support for a user, the user when supported by the support members being able to exercise against the resistance offered by the resistance element. In the inoperative state, the legs and support members are pivoted together so as to be parallel or nearly parallel with one another, so the machine is extremely compact in this state.
