Abstract:
1. An exercise apparatus comprising: a housing; a resistance assembly including a resistance cable, the resistance assembly disposed within the housing; and a tension adjustment member disposed within the housing, wherein the tension adjustment member interfaces with the resistance assembly and is movable between a first position and a second position, wherein in the resistance assembly has a first geometry that corresponds to the first position of the tension adjustment member and a second geometry that corresponds to the second position of the tension adjustment member, wherein: in the first position the tension adjustment member has a first neutral position at or near one end of its range of travel such that the resistance cable is actuated; and in the second position the tension adjustment member has a second neutral position near the center of its range of travel such that when the tension adjustment member is moved out of the second neutral position the resistance assembly induces the tension adjustment member back to the second neutral position.
