ABSTRACT:
A weight augmenting device for a rider-type exercise machine comprises a U-shaped bracket with stiffly flexible legs and a bridging cross piece joining the legs along one edge of the legs, the legs being spaced a distance closely to embrace opposite sides of a rectangular post. A clamping mechanism squeezes the legs against the post. A weight holding finger is mounted at one end to the bridging cross piece and projects in a direction away from the legs. Weights are mounted on the finger. The bracket is selectively mountable on and demountable from the exercise machine post, which itself is pivoted at one end, and can be moved along the length of the post toward and away from the pivot point of the post, so as to increase or decrease the force necessary to move the post around its pivot.
