ABSTRACT:
A torque variable exercising apparatus includes a frame, a first cable-and-pulley arrangement and an impeding mechanism. The first cable-and-pulley includes a first cable having one end fixed to the frame and a second end incorporating an operating handle. The first cable moves up and down to pass a series of fixed pulleys and a first movable pulley. The impeding mechanism includes a second cable-and pulley arrangement mounted on the frame and connected to and suspending the first movable pulley, a vertical stand and a lever arm pivotally mounted on the vertical stand and having a first end connected to the second cable-and-pulley arrangement and a second end of the lever arm carrying a weight. The operating handle can be operated to apply a force at the first end of the lever via the second cable-and-pulley arrangement.
