Abstract
A physical exercise/therapy apparatus includes a generally upstanding frame with a plurality of support bars at the top of the frame. The support bars are adapted to support a plurality of exercise pulleys, whereby a plurality of exercise devices are provided. The respective positions of the pulleys are adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of different types of muscle exercises. The frame includes a plurality of stall bars adapted to support a relatively flat board in an inclined position and a plurality of support rods spaced vertically along each side of the frame for supporting a stacking board. A guide mechanism is provided for guiding the movement of an exercise weight, such that the weight is constrained to move along a vertical axis. The guide mechanism includes inner and outer hollow members and a plate member attached to the inner hollow member. The plate member is configured to ride up and down within a vertically oriented slot in the outer hollow member to constrain the weight to move up and down along a vertical axis parallel to the slot.
