ABSTRACT:
A portable lightweight body-anchored exercising apparatus for use in exercising the human body made up of a frame, a pair of ropes with free ends pullable by a user, weights for resisting the pulling forces, and a base connected to the frame and on which the user rests his body during performance of exercises to hold the apparatus in place so that it does not move in response to the generally upward forces created by the pulling of ropes by the user. Additionally, the exercising apparatus includes a pulley system to permit the user to move his exercising limbs a distance greater than the excursion of the weights, handles for the user to grasp while pulling the ropes, sheaves for controlling the movement of the ropes, and guide pins for guiding the weights so that they cannot swing outwardly and harm the user. The weights are attached to the ropes with hooks to allow them to move jointly with the ropes.
