Abstract
A multi-purpose exercising apparatus includes a mounting base securely provided with a horizontal seat cushion and a vertical backrest. A hollow top side of a backrest tubular body at a rear side of said backrest is connected to two adjusting mechanisms which are respectively connected to a support arm. A tensile arm is disposed below the seat cushion at a front edge thereof. A damping mechanism is disposed within the mounting base. The damping mechanism consists of three resilient ropes wound around revolving shafts, in which two of the ropes respectively pass around pulley sets to be pulled out from their corresponding support arms. The two ropes are then fixedly connected to two rings or a lever. The third rope is fixedly connected to the tensile arm. By means of pressing a button of the adjusting mechanism to adjust the angles of the support arms, the user may exercise the triceps or muscles of the arms, chest, legs or abdomen as desired.
