![]() This flexibility in scheduling often allows for a more consistent and thus healthful exercise regime. ![]() An exerciser may exercise at home whenever the exerciser's schedule permits. Home exercise offers the health benefits of regular exercise while recognizing that many people have difficulty in finding sufficient time in their schedule for a full workout at a health club or gymnasium. Home exercise is becoming increasingly more popular. More particularly, the present invention relates to an exercise device and method wherein the exerciser exerts muscle force against an adjustable portion of the exerciser's own body weight, and other methods described herein. The present invention relates, in general, to an exercise device and a method of using the same. The exercise device of claim 18, wherein the vertical support member includes an automatic lift mechanism for automaticaly adjusting the incline of the rails, and the automatic lift mechanism includes a driving mechanism, upper and lower pully assemblies, at least one of which driven by the driving mechanism, and opposite vertical chains carried by the pully, wherein the first end of each of the first set of rails is coupled to the opposite vertical chains. ![]() A collapsible exercise device, comprising: a vertical support member a first set of rails, each of the first set of rails having a first end and a second end, the first end of each of the first set of rails being pivotally connected to, and adjustably supported by, the vertical support member a second set of rails, each of the second set of rails having a first end and a second end, the first end of each of the second set of rails being pivotally connected to the second end of the first set of rails a strut with a first end and a second end, the first end of the strut being pivotally connected to the vertical support member and the second end of the strut being pivotally connected to the rails where the rails are pivotally connected to each other a user support platform with rollers engaging the first and second set of rails, first and second combination pulley-support and pull-up bars each pivotally connected to the first end of the first set of rails for movement between at least a substantially vertical position and a substantially non- vertical position first and second pulleys slidably connected to the first and second combination pulley-support and pull-up bars for slidable movement of the pulleys to a desired location and one or more cables extendable through first and second pulleys and connected to the user support platform and wherein the exercise device is foldable such that the vertical support member, the first set of rails, the second set of rails and the strut are substantially parallel to each other.Ģ1. The method of claim 1, wherein the first and second combination pulley-support and pull-up bars each have a trapezoidal configuration.ġ8. A method of using a collapsible exercise device, comprising: providing a collapsible exercise device including a vertical support member, an adjustable incline having a first end and a second end, the first end of the adjustable incline pivotally coupled to, adjustably supported by, and vertically movable with respect to, the vertical support member for adjusting the incline of the adjustable incline, a user support platform movably attached to the adjustable incline, first and second combination pulley-support and pull-up bars each pivotally connected to the first end of the adjustable incline for movement between at least a substantially vertical position and a substantially non-vertical position, first and second pulleys movably connected to the first and second combination pulley-support and pull-up bars for movement of the pulleys to a desired location, and one or more cables extendable through first and second pulleys and connected to the user support platform for movement of the support platform along the adjustable incline through cable movement, wherein the exercise device is foldable such that the vertical support member and the adjustable incline are substantially parallel to each other when collapsed positioning the first end of the adjustable incline at a desired height with respect to the vertical support member so that the adjustable incline is at a desired inclination moving the first and second combination pulley-support and pull-up bars to a desired position moving the first and second pulleys connected to the first and second combination pulley-support and pull-up bars to a desired location moving the support platform along the adjustable incline through cable movement through the first and second pulleys on the combination pulley-support and pull-up bars. ![]()
