DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
Turning now descriptively to the drawings, in which like reference 
characters denote like elements throughout the several views, the Figures 
illustrate a portable pulley exerciser body fitness apparatus 10 
consisting of an elongated bar 12 and a pair of pulleys 14. Each pulley 14 
is affixed to one end 16 of the elongated bar 12. A cord 18 extends about 
the pulley 14, while a pair of handles 20 are provided. Each handle 20 is 
removably affixed to one end 22 of the cord 18 so that a person 24 can 
grip the handles 20 to do exercises. 
The portable pulley exerciser body fitness apparatus 10 further includes a 
rectangular shaped panel 26 having a retainer channel 27 proximate to one 
end 28 thereof in which the elongated bar 12 can be inserted into the 
retainer channel 17 so that additional exercises can be performed. A belt 
30 is to secure the panel 20 to the front of a backrest 32 of a chair 34 
so that a triceps curl exercise can be performed. 
The portable pulley exerciser body fitness apparatus 10 further includes an 
adjustable platform 36 to elevate the chair 34 for doing a front of the 
thigh curl exercise. A recliner 38 is to support a back of the person for 
doing a leg press exercise as shown in FIG. 9. A head strap 40 is to 
engage the cord 18 between the pulleys 14 for doing a neck front curl 
exercise, as shown in FIG. 10. 
The portable pulley exercise-body fitness apparatus 10 further includes a 
pair of foot harnesses 42, with each removably affixed to one end 22 of 
the cord 18 for doing the leg press exercise. An optional rest mat 44 may 
also be provided so that the person 24 may sit and lay on said rest mat 44 
in comfort when doing the various exercises. 
The portable pulley exerciser body fitness apparatus 10 further includes a

to the inner edge of the retainer channel 27 on the panel 26. An auxiliary 
cord 48 extends about the pulleys 46, so that each of the foot harnesses 
42 are removably affixed at 50 to one end of said auxiliary cord 48 when 
doing the front of the thigh curl exercises as shown in FIG. 8. 
The portable pulley exerciser body fitness apparatus 10 further includes a 
pair of hand grips 52, each affixed to one side 54 and proximate one end 
16 of the elongated bar 12 so that when the elongated bar 12 is inserted 
into the retainer channel 27 on the panel 26 and the panel 26 is placed 
upon the floor the person 24 can do push-up exercises therefrom. 
While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and 
described and are pointed out in the annexed claims, it will be understood 
that various omissions, substitutions and changes in the forms and details 
of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those 
skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.
