Abstract
An exercise machine for performing leg extension and leg curl exercises has a seat from the front of which a swing member depends. A swing link is pivotally connected near the lower end of the swing member and supports a pair of laterally extending pads. A rearwardly directed force is applied to the swing member to act in opposition to forward movement of the swing member and swing link when an exerciser pushes against one of the pads with one of his (her) legs when the exerciser is seated (leg extension exercise) or is standing facing rearwardly with the seat swung upwardly to an upright position.
