Description

TITLE: MULTIPURPOSE PHYSICAL CONDITIONING APPARATUS This invention relates to a physical conditioning apparatus, and more particularly to a multipurpose physical conditioning apparatus having sitting and lying means and a plurality of muscle exercising mechanisms combined for providing various muscle exercises tor the entire body of a user.

With the rapid development of industry, the arduous business life which accompanies such a rapid development makes the lives of workers very stressful and leav-s them little time to care for their physical health. bloreover, since most big cities are crowded, very few recr~ational fields are available for those workers who wish to relax from the stress of their work day and improve their physical health.

In order to meet the requirements of good physical health, various physical exercisers, such as teadmills, leg muscle exercisers, etc., have been produced for use in a limited space by those who wish to imprcve their physical health but have hectic schedules and thus desire to work at home, office or gym. However, conventional physical exercisers are usually confined to their respective usages. For example, a treadmill can only exercise a user's feet and legs. Therefore, che local exercise taken by a user on a conventional physical exerciser is not conducive to the improvement of the physical health of the user's entire body.

In view of the fact that recreational fields in a crowded city are scarce, various gymnasiums and health clubs have been established to enable people to enjoy a mere comprehensive exercise program. However, in the limited space of a gymnasium, the amount of exercising equipment is usually also limited, therefore possibly inconveniencing. the users by requiring them to wait a tended period of time between exercise shifts under crowded conditions.

In addition, ordinary conventional exercising equipment is not ensured to operate safely. Therefore, once an injury is sustained while using said equipment, the user thereof would be afraid of continuing use of said equipment.
