Abstract
A device for use with an exerciser device, such as a reformer, which permits the adjustment of a resistance system, even when connected to a resistance source, by selectively relieving the resistance force imparted on the resistance adjustment system when changing the resistance and automatically reengaging the resistance force when exercising. A strain relief is coupled to a linkage between the resistance source and the resistance adjuster. When engaged, the strain relief selectively reduces the resistance force transmitted through the linkage to the resistance adjuster to permit movement of the resistance adjuster relative to the purchase. When disengaged the strain relief permits transmission of the resistance force through the linkage to the resistance adjuster.

An exercise machine, comprising:
- (a) a frame, having a first end and a second end;
- (b) a seat, movably attached to the frame, movable between a lowered/stowed position and a raised/use position;
- and
- (c) a pedal that is (i) pivotally attached to a first position on the frame near the first end of the frame via a pedal arm assembly and (ii) coupled to a linkage, which in turn is coupled to a first end of a spring, with a second end of said spring being coupled to a second position on the frame, closer to the second end of the frame.
