An exercise device comprising an enclosure containing water having a top surface and a bottom. A base member supported on the bottom. A seat for an exercising person is supported on the base. A float is supported in the water and adapted to be pulled through the water by a force on a cord attached to the float. The float may be air filled or filled with a lighter than water material. The float has an indicia on it to indicate the force from 1-400 pounds that the float is exerting and thereby, the force exerted on the cord by the person. A lever is attached to the handle and to the cord. The person can engage the handle attached to the cord with his hands, feet, chest or back, thereby exercising his body. The float is guided up and down by posts attached to the bottom. Multiple floats may be attached together to adjust the resistance force of the exercise device.
