ABSTRACT:
A biasing element for an exercising machine is provided where one end of the biasing element is removably disposed on a lever arm of the exercising machine and the opposite end of the biasing element is disposed on a fixed support member of the exercising machine. The biasing element provides resistance to the movement of the lever arm in the plane of motion wherein the biasing element comprises at least one elastomeric band and a containing member to provide a bight on the ends of the biasing element for disposing on the respective portions of the machine. The biasing element may also have end members or support members placed within the bights. The biasing element, the containing member and the end members or support members may be initially separate and separable such that in the event of damage to any one of said members it may readily be replaced with another such elastomeric band element.
