Abstract
Rowing machine structure with resistance may be reoriented to be upright. Bench structure is attached to the upright rowing structure so that the user positioned on the bench structure may operate the resistance structure in the performance of exercises such as leg-raise exercises.
Claims19
A multipurpose exercise machine comprising:
- rowing machine structure for performing rowing exercises in a first orientation, said rowing machine structure including:
- frame means with a front end and a rear end,
- an extension frame member removably attached to and extending from said rear end of said frame means in said first orientation;
- track means reorientably associated with said frame means with a rowing seat removably slidably adapted thereto;
- resistance structure including lever means for manipulation by the user in performing said rowing exercises;
- and
- support means associated with said rowing machine structure proximate said front end of said frame means to support said rowing machine structure in a second orientation wherein said frame means is positioned in said second orientation to be essentially upright;
- wherein said extension frame member and said track means are removable from said first frame means to be reorientably coupled to each other to form a bench structure adaptable to said rowing machine structure to support a user when said rowing machine structure is positioned in said second orientation for performance of additional exercises, said bench structure including a bench user support positioned proximate said rear end of said frame means and relative to said resistance structure for manipulation of said resistance structure by a user positioned on said bench user support.

A multipurpose exercise machine comprising:
- rowing machine structure for performing rowing exercises in a rowing orientation, said rowing machine structure including:
- a frame having a central member with a front end and a rear end having a transverse spar adapted to said central member proximate said rear end and having an extension member which telescopes in and out of said central member at said rear end,
- a track removably mounted to said frame with a rowing seat removably slidably adapted thereto,
- resistance structure including a pair of rowing levers with handles for manipulation by the user;
- support means associated with said rowing machine structure proximate said front end of said frame means to support said rowing machine structure in a second orientation wherein said frame means is positioned in said second orientation to be essentially upright;
- bench structure adaptable to said rowing machine structure to support a user when said rowing machine structure is positioned in said second orientation for performance of exercises, said bench structure including:
- said track removed from said frame and removably adaptable at one end to said transverse spar,
- a leg member which is said extension member removed from said frame and adapted to said track at its distal end to extend there below to support said track, and
- a bench user support positioned on said track to support a user thereon.
