An exercise chair apparatus includes a chair having a seat, arms, a back, legs, and a space beneath the seat. The chair back has two or more exercising devices formed therein and has a pair of handles extendible from the devices in the back. The handles are held in cups in the chair back until grasped and pulled from the chair back by a seated person. A head band strap also embodied in the chair back is used for neck exercising and gripping support for abdominal exercises. In each chair arm is located an exercising device that has a handle extendible from the chair arm and recessed in a cup until grasped by a seated person, so that pulling the handles exercises the arms. The chair side panels beneath the chair arms have pulling devices similar to those in the chair arms and are also used to exercise the arms. Rubber caps are formed in the chair arm ends for hand squeezing and gripping support. An extendible tubular frame is attached to the chair frame beneath the seat and can be extended to various distances in front of the chair and an exercising device can be attached thereon for operation by a person sitting in the chair. An adjusting and locking system is provided for moving and locking the extended platform in different positions for the person in the chair, so that a conventional chair can be used as a seat for relaxation or for exercising while in a seated position.

Exercise chair

An indoor/outdoor exercise chair apparatus includes a back, arms, legs, seat and a space beneath the seat. The chair back has two or more exercising devices embodied therein with a pair of handles extendible from the back of the chair. A head band strap attached to the chair back frame is used for neck exercising and gripping support for abdominal and leg exercises. In each chair arm is located a handle extendible from the chair arm when grasped by a seated person. The chair side frames in the seat have pulling devices similar to those in the chair back and arms and are also used to exercise the arms. Rubber caps are formed in the chair arm ends for hand squeezing and gripping support. An extendible exercise frame with a pedal device can be folded inward and stored against the front chair legs. Two spring clamps are affixed to the two front legs to hold the frame and allow it to be swiveled forward and extended for exercising and backward for storage. The chair back frame also has attached to it an extension support frame so that when the chair is folded backward to a horizontal plane, it is supported by the support frame underneath it. Thus a bench pressing device is formed to accommodate an exercise bar. A portable folding platform base supplies a solid foundation for the chair legs on sand, soft ground, or pebbly surfaces.
