Abstract
An apparatus and a method for leg exercises having a seat (100), a support structure (200) being operatively associated with the seat (100); a structure for resisting (300) a movement of the exerciser; and a structure for exercising (400) a leg, the leg exercising structure (400) being operatively associated with the resisting structure (300). The leg exercising structure (400) includes an upper thigh support member (410), a lower thigh support member (420) being cooperatively associated with the upper thigh support member (410), a calf support member (430), a pivoting leg-engaging mechanism (440) being mechanically coupled to the calf support member (430), and a structure for converting (500) from a leg extension exercise to a leg curl exercise, the converting structure (500) being operatively associated with the calf support member (430), the converting structure having a gravity latch device (510).
