Abstract
A back roller exercise apparatus is disclosed having a base, a support member and a backrest slidably engaged with the support member. In a preferred embodiment, the exercise apparatus includes a seat adjustably attached to the support member, a lower bar attached to the seat, and an upper bar adjustably attached to the support member. In an operating configuration, the support member is substantially vertical and the backrest slides up and down between the seat and the upper end of the support member. The support member is preferably pivotally attached to the base. In a storage configuration, the support member is pivoted such that it is substantially parallel to the base. The exercise apparatus is utilized to perform squats, lunges, narrow pull-ups, wide pull-ups, dips and push-ups. The exercise apparatus may be utilized in three exercise modes: strength, aerobic and circuit training.
