Back exercise apparatus

Rowing machine exerciser

The present invention provides an exercise apparatus 100 having a turntable 120 rotatably mounted proximate one end of a base 110, and right and left poles 130 and 140 pivotally mounted proximate an opposite end of the base 110. A person stands on the turntable 120, swivels the hips to rotate the turntable 120, and reciprocally pushes and pulls the poles 130 and 140 against resistance provided by an adjustable resistance mechanism 150.

Exercise apparatus with turntable and pivoting poles

The present invention provides an exercise apparatus having a frame that extends between a front end and a rear end, and is designed to rest upon a floor surface. The frame supports an inclined rail at an angle of greater than five degrees relative to the floor surface. A seat is slidably secured relative to the rail, and the angle of inclination opposes rearward movement of the seat. A load resistant line means is secured at one end to the seat and at another effective end relative to the frame to further oppose rearward movement of the seat.
