ABSTRACT:
An adjustable leg exercise device is provided which is easily adjustable between a sitting position and a prone position, whereby the body is placed in an ideal position for exercising the quadricep muscles and hamstring muscles respectively. The device preferably includes a floor-engaging support frame and a weight-receiving exercise unit pivotally secured adjacent the upper portion of one end of the support frame. The exercise unit includes a weight-receiving structure for selectively attaching different amounts of weights, to vary the resistance to the pivoting action. Additionally, the unit also presents a pair of leg-engaging regions, the first region positioned for use in the quadricep exercise while the second region is positioned for use in the hamstring exercise. An articulated, flat, padded bench is pivotally secured to the upper portion of the frame, with the bench-frame pivotal connection located adjacent the frame-exercise unit pivotal connection. The bench includes two portions hingedly interconnected such that the bench can be positioned in a sitting use position for the quadricep exercise or alternatively, positioned into a gabled, prone use position for the hamstring exercise. Advantageously, the frame includes supports for holding the bench in either of the selected positions.
