A home exercise device is of greater value when it is capable of multiple functions
and can be easily stored when not in use. Lightweight springs are used in place
of heavy weight plates to reduce shipping costs and simplify storage. The device
also includes a frame that supports a base, providing linear movement of the base
relative to the frame. A bar, with spring tension, is coupled to a multi-position
lock. This allows the bar to be positioned in a variety of locations relative to
the frame and the user, thereby providing a variety of exercises. A head portion
is also provided that includes a torsion spring. This spring can be engaged or
disengaged from the frame to allow the user to provide spring tension to resist
movement of the head portion. The diversity of movable components offers a vast
variety of exercises that can be performed on the unit as well as enabling the
unit to fold down for storage when not in use.
