Abstract

An exercise apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a base structure having a central support member secured to a vertically oriented resistance assembly with a resistance member. The apparatus further includes a cable linking the resistance member to a user interface coupled to an end of the cable. A first pulley is pivotally mounted adjacent a lower end of the resistance assembly. The cable passes over the first pulley to direct the cable toward the lower body of an individual using the exercise apparatus. The first pulley also includes a cylindrical member through which the cable passes such that the cable extends substantially along an it axis about which the first pulley pivots.
