Abstract

Abstract An exerciser includes a base frame having first and second ends and including two parallel beams, a foot post, a seat post, and a supporting member. An axle is rotationally mounted to the first end of the base frame between the parallel beams. Each beam includes a track adjacent to the second end of the base frame. The foot post has a lower end securely mounted to the axle to pivot therewith and an upper end to which a pair of foot rests are provided. A fixed beam extends outwardly from the foot post toward to the second end of base frame and has a distal end. The seat post includes a lower end securely attached to the axle to pivot therewith and an upper end for mounting a seat thereon. A mediate section of the supporting member is pivoted at an underside thereof to the distal end of the fixed beam, while an upper side of the mediate section of the supporting member is in pivotal connection with the seat post to allow pivotal movements therebetween. A pair of handgrips are mounted on a top section of the supporting member. A rod is mounted to a bottom section of the supporting member and has two ends. A roller is rotationally mounted to each end of the rod and is movably received in an associated track in each beam.
