Abstract:
1. An exercise machine, comprising: a support assembly comprising a frame and a fulcrum, wherein the fulcrum is movably coupled to the frame; first and second resilient elongate members, each of the first and second resilient elongate members having a first end, a second end, and an intermediate portion, wherein the intermediate portion of each of the first and second elongate members is positioned on the fulcrum of the support assembly; and a cable and pulley system coupled to the support assembly, the cable and pulley system having at least one cable adapted to be moved by the user; and a capture device coupled to the first resilient elongate member, the capture device configured to selectively capture the second resilient elongate member, wherein the cable and pulley system and the capture device are adapted such that the user can selectively move the at least one cable (i) against the resistance of the first resilient elongate member; or (ii) against the collective resistance of both the first and second elongate members.
