An exercise apparatus is provided which includes a chair, an arm-exercising station,
and a leg-exercising station. The arm-exercising station is mounted in the armrests
of the chair and includes a support frame attached to the base portion of the chair,
a pair of elongated left and right exercise bars disposed within the left and right
armrest portions of the chair operable for selective pivotal movement within the
armrest portions, and a resistance device attached to the bars for resisting the
pivotal movement of the bars. The leg-exercising station is associated with the
underside of the footrest portion of the chair and includes a pedal assembly configured
for rotational movement. The pedal assembly is automatically raised and positioned
for use when the footrest is pivoted forwardly. The leg-exercising station is concealed
within the chair when not in use.
