Abstract
Abstract An exercising device having a longitudinally extending frame, a first side and a second side. Spaced first legs, second legs and intermediate legs are fixed to the longitudinally extending frame and extend upwardly therefrom. A first seat frame and a second seat frame are swingably supported on the first side and the second side of the frame. The first seat frame is swingable to a first position with the distal end thereof resting on a support surface or swingable to a second position with the distal end thereof resting on a lateral intermediate member and forming a continuation of a fixed seat frame. The second seat frame is swingably attached to the longitudinally extending frame at an intermediate position between the second legs and the intermediate legs. The second seat frame can be removed or swung to a second position parallel to a support surface or can be swung to a third position with the distal end thereof resting on a transversely cross member of a U-shaped member supported on the fixed seat frame, thereby providing a three-in-one exercise bench.
