Abstract

A portable, light weight exercise machine is shown that includes a housing for carriage and storage of various parts which make up the machine. To use the machine, it is placed upon a table and the parts removed from the housing. A resistance device which forms a the major component of the machine is placed into its operating position by rotating a pivot head 180 degrees without the need to assemble or disassemble any parts. Once the resistance device is placed into its operating position, a lever is attached to the pivot head which the user may hold or attach to his or her ankles to exercise his or her upper or lower body while sitting upon the housing to retain it upon the table.
