Claim:
1. An exercise apparatus comprising: a housing having a height, the housing configured to be mounted to an external upright surface, a first longitudinal axis defined extending through the height; a biasing member, the biasing member including a substantially rigid upper section, a substantially rigid lower section, and a flexible joint therebetween, the flexible joint providing a flexural resistance, wherein the lower section is coupled to the housing and a second longitudinal axis defined extending through the upper section; and a handle coupled to the upper section, wherein the biasing member is transitionable between a first position in which the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis are generally collinear, and a second position in which the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis are at an angle with respect to one another, the biasing member being biased toward the first position; a foot rest, the foot rest being coupled to the housing; the foot rest includes a support surface, the surface defining a geometric plane, the support surface being transitionable between a first position in which the plane is pivotable with respect to the first longitudinal axis and a second position in which the plane is substantially orthogonal to the first longitudinal axis; and the foot rest is movable relative to said surface whereby, said foot rest is stowable between uses for enhanced convenience without removing said exercise apparatus from said surface.
