Abstract

A full body exercise apparatus capable of permitting a user to conveniently develop and condition an extremely broad cross section of muscle groups so as to provide a full body workout. The full body exercise apparatus includes a bottom frame structure having a front end portion, a rear end portion, and a central axis extending therebetween. A seat pad and knee pad are provided near the central axis for user comfort. Stabilizer arms extend horizontally from the central axis to provide stability to the full body exercise apparatus. A pole section is removably secured to the bottom frame structure and extends perpendicularly upwards. A plurality of tension members are removably secured throughout the full body exercise apparatus and include a handle thereupon.

Claims

1. A full body exercise apparatus comprising:

a bottom frame structure having a front end portion, a rear end portion and a central axis extending therebetween,

a seat pad disposed near said central axis of said bottom frame structure and configured to support a user thereupon,

a knee pad disposed near said central axis of said bottom frame structure and configured to support a user thereupon,

at least one pair of stabilizer arms extending from said central axis of said bottom frame structure,

a pair of rotating pedals disposed upon said at least one pair of stabilizer arms,

a pole section removably secured to said bottom frame structure and extending perpendicularly upwards therefrom,

a raised seat portion removably secured to said bottom frame structure,

a raised bench portion removably secured to said bottom frame structure,

a plurality of tension members configured to be removably secured throughout said full body exercise apparatus, said tension members including a handle thereupon, and

connection means configured to removably secure said tension members to said full body exercise apparatus.

2. A full body exercise apparatus as recited in claim 1, wherein said handle is removable.
