ABSTRACT:
An exercise device is movable between an operating position and a folded, storage position. The device includes rear support structure and front support structure pivotally coupled to the rear support structure so as to be movable between an operative position extending from the rear support structure and a folded position disposed alongside the rear support structure. A seat support structure having a seat thereon coupled to the rear support structure at a pivot location and is constructed and arranged to be moved in opposite directions about its pivot location so that the seat moves arcuately upwardly and downwardly with the seat support structure within a range of operative movements. Lever structure is pivotally coupled to the rear support structure. Foot supports are coupled to an end of the lever structure and a handlebar is coupled to an opposite end of the lever structure. A connecting link is pivotally coupled between the seat support structure and the lever structure such that movement of the handlebar toward the seat pivots the lever structure with respect to the rear support structure causing the seat support structure and seat thereon to move upwardly. The device may be moved into its folded, storage position wherein the front support structure, the lever structure and the seat support structure are disposed generally alongside the rear support structure.
