Claim 5:
6. An exercise machine comprising:
a purchase configured to be moved by application of an exerciser force;
a resistance source providing a resistance force;
a resistance adjuster configured to be selectively moved relative to the purchase to change a magnitude of the resistance force transmitted to the purchase, the resistance adjuster comprising a slot with a plurality of enlarged portions and a pull pin coupled with a linkage, the pull pin is selectively permitted to slide within the slot manually and selectively lock in position along the slot within one of the plurality of enlarged portions;
the linkage providing a connection between the resistance source and the resistance adjuster and selectively transmitting the resistance force; and
a strain relief coupled to the linkage and operably positioned 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, wherein the slot is formed within a plate positioned on the pedal arm, the plate further comprising an arced slot, a linkage bar comprising first and second ends, the linkage bar carrying the pull pin at the first end and carrying a pin at the second end, the pin configured to slide within the arced slot as the pull pin is slid within the slot, the linkage being connected to the pin.
