Abstract

An exercise pedal comprising: a plate member including a receiving cavity fixed on a bottom surface thereof, and the receiving cavity including a plurality of partitions to space a number of recesses; a seat formed in a semicircle shape to be vertically, upside down or horizontally retained to the recesses based on demands, such that the plate member and the two seats are capable of being used solely or together to vary different exercise motions. Furthermore, the seats are placed in the first recesses of the plate member to lower storing size and be portable easily.
