Abstract

A multi-function exercise apparatus for conducting an exercise regimen with a single exercise apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus may be readily reoriented via a selectively extensible caster and wheels to face a desired direction for performance of an exercise. The multi-function exercise apparatus may be provisioned with storage locations to maintain weights and other accessories with the apparatus, to equip the multi-function exercise with the necessary weights and accessories for performing a full body exercise regimen. An articulating frame assembly permits a cushion assembly to be raised in either of a partial tilting configuration and a full tilting configuration. In the partial tilting configuration, a seated exercise apparatus is provided. In the full tilting configuration, a full cushioned surface of the apparatus may be tilted to a desired vertical orientation for performance of other exercises with the apparatus.
