Abstract:
1. An exercise machine placeable on an underlying surface, the exercise machine comprising: a frame; a seat situated over the frame; a seatback situated over the frame, the seatback having a longitudinal centerline; a connection mechanism for flexibly or/and adjustably connecting the seatback to the frame or/and the seat, the connection mechanism having a swivel axis about which at least part of the connection mechanism is turnable to enable the seatback to swivel, the swivel axis extending generally parallel to the longitudinal centerline of the seatback; a pedaling mechanism connectable to the frame and having a pair of movable pedals, the seat located laterally between the pedaling and connection mechanisms; and a pair of frame legs flexibly connected to the frame, each frame leg switchable between (a) an extended position in which extended-position surface area of that leg substantially contacts the underlying surface and (b) a retracted position in which retracted-position surface area of that leg substantially contacts the underlying surface such that the frame is farther from the underlying surface when the legs are in their extended positions than when the legs are in their retracted positions.
