ABSTRACT:
An exercise machine for strengthening of the muscles of the upper body, abdomen, and legs has a damper (68), pivotally mounted on its first end to the first end of a bench (10) and pivotally connected by its second end to a T-shaped bar (20) to which the user shall exercise the upper body muscles by alternately applying a pushing and pulling force. Another damper (70) is pivotally mounted on its first end to the second end of the bench, its second end being pivotally connected to a U-shaped lever (22). The first ends of the U-shaped lever are pivotally mounted near the second end of the bench, a padded bar (32) is mounted near the upper end of the U-shaped lever, and the second end of the U-shaped lever is mounted to a hinge (30). The hinge is pivotally mounted to a lever (24) by said first end which is in turn connected by its second end to a length adjusting bar (26) having a foot rest (28) mounted to its free end. The user will exercise the legs by applying a pushing force to the foot rest. Abdominal muscles shall be exercised when the user applies a pulling force to the padded bar with the frontal portion of their thighs.
