First Claim
1. An exercise apparatus on a supporting surface, the apparatus comprising:
- a linear support frame oriented at a selected angle to the supporting surface and thereby defining an elevated end of the linear support frame;
a supporting strut depending from the elevated end of the linear support frame for resting on the supporting surface in maintaining the linear support frame at the selected angle;
a user support strut having a user support, the support strut pivotally engaged with the linear support frame proximal the elevated end thereof;
a raising strut pivotally engaged with the linear support frame at a lower end thereof; and
an intermediate strut engaged between the user support strut and the raising strut, such that when the raising strut is pivoted upwardly, the user support strut is caused to pivotally move upwardly therewith for raising a user'"'"'s weight.

Abstract
An exercise apparatus is placed on a supporting surface where a linear support frame and a supporting strut depending from an elevated end of the linear support frame maintains the linear support frame at selected angles with respect to the supporting surface. A user support strut provides a seat, and is pivotally engaged with the linear support frame proximal its elevated end. A raising strut is pivotally engaged with the linear support frame at their lower ends. An intermediate strut is fixed between the user support strut and the raising strut, such that when the raising strut is pivoted upwardly, the seat strut is caused to pivotally move upwardly as well. Cables are mounted so that the user is able to apply force to the raising strut to lift the users own weight in a pivoting action during exercising.
