Chair exercise apparatus

A chair exercise apparatus comprising:

• a frame configured to rest on a horizontal surface;
• a seat support fastened to an upper surface portion of the frame;
• a seat fastened to an upper end of the seat support spacing the seat above the horizontal surface;
• a pair of parallel foot support arms each having a proximal end extending toward the frame and a foot support fastened to a distal end of each of the pair of parallel foot support arms, wherein each foot support arm is biased away from the frame toward the seat;
• and
• a pair of hinged support post members each fastened to a mounting bracket captured between the seat and the seat support, the mounting bracket having opposing end portions, wherein each support post member is movable from a storage position below the seat to an operable position extending upward alongside the seat, wherein each hinged support post member has a long leg and a short leg extending at an angle from the long leg, the short leg being hinged to one of the opposing end portions of the mounting bracket;
• wherein each support post member is releasably captured in the operable position by a clamp formed between the short leg and one of the opposing end portions of the mounting bracket by a clip link rotatably fastened for rotation about a vertical axis to one of the opposing end portions of the mounting bracket.
