Leg exerciser

Abstract

An exercising apparatus is disclosed which allows a user to perform a variety of leg exercises including leg extensions and leg presses. The exercise apparatus has a front and a back and includes a frame having an upper frame member and a lower base frame member. A seat is mounted to the upper frame member. The lower base frame member extends forwardly of the seat and the lower end of a press arm is pivotally secured to the forward end thereof. The press arm extends upwardly to the area in front of the seat and the upper end thereof is pivotable toward and away from the seat. A first resistance, biases the press arm toward the seat. A curl bar has an upper end pivotally secured to the upper end of said press arm such that the lower end of the curl bar is pivotable toward and away from the press arm and a curl pad is adjustably mounted adjacent the lower end of the curl bar. The curl pad is arranged so that a user sitting on the seat can position his feet under the curl pad with the curl pad engaging the upper part of the user's feet and the forward part of the user's ankles for performing leg extensions. When such leg extension exercises are being performed, a second resistance, biases the curl bar toward the press arm. A foot engaging pad or the like is also carried by the curl bar for engagement by the bottom of a user's feet for performing leg press exercises.
