Abstract

The present invention relates to an exercise apparatus that enables a number of exercises to be carried out utilising the apparatus. The present invention provides an aid to a user to perform an exercise using their own body weight. The apparatus comprises a biasing means arranged and configured to provide support for a user when in use, the biasing means including a sleeve and a piston arranged to move relative to the sleeve. The biasing means further includes a chamber provided between the sleeve and the piston wherein movement of the piston from a rest configuration to an extended configuration causes compression of the material in the chamber.
