ABSTRACT:
A multi-function exercise machine includes an I-shaped base, an erect mast and a supporting post. The mast, which is erected on the base has a headrest slidably mounted thereon. A curved handbar is attached to the rear of the headrest. An elastic rope is attached to the curved handbar at the end thereof. The other end of the elastic rope is guided through a pulley disposed within the mast. By this arrangement, the elastic force of the wound rope can be applied to a user then the user conducts a bowing movement. A pair of L-shaped supports are rotatably mounted through supporting legs adjacent to the seat. The supporting legs for the L-shaped supports are spring-biased to apply a load to the feet when a user is conducting a clamping movement. When the spring is attached to the rear part of the supporting legs, the L-shaped supports can be used to conduct a feet expanding movement.
