A portable, light weight exercise machine is shown that includes a housing for carriage and storage of various parts which make up the machine. To use the machine, it is placed upon a table and the parts removed from the housing. A resistance device which forms a the major component of the machine is placed into its operating position by rotating a pivot head 180 degrees without the need to assemble or disassemble any parts.
