Abstract
A combined resistance/magnetic exercise apparatus which uses both adjustable resistance and magnetic forces to improve mind and body in a variety of chosen exercises. Magnets are provided in the handle grips of the cross bar an in the platform upon which a user stands. The portable apparatus provides a curved upward extension to which the cross bar is mounted, via a flex joint. A plurality of eyelets and loops are also provided for use with included elastic cables with handles.
