Abstract

An apparatus is set forth wherein an elliptical seat defined by a major and minor axis includes a plurality of diametrically opposed support legs aligned and coextensive with the minor axis of the elliptical seat, with the seat including a matrix of drainage apertures therethrough, as well as a comfort ridge aligned with the major axis of the elliptical seat. Modifications include telescoping members received within the seat support legs, as well as telescoping links for securing a foot rest member thereon. The foot rest member is also structured for sliding adjustment along the links for adjustment thereof relative to the links. Further, foot support members may include cushioned cavities defined within support members mounted to the seat by flexible lines.
