Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an exercise device.

Description of the Prior Art

As the living standard rises day by day, and people start to put more and more emphasis on physical health, exercise has become a very important entertainment for modern people. However, due to the crowded environment and poor air quality of the urban area, people tend to exercise indoors, for example, using exercise devices in a gym to conduct weight training, to maintain physical health and fitness. A conventional exercise device includes a frame body, a pulling mechanism and a counterweight mechanism, the pulling mechanism and the counterweight mechanism are connected through the cooperation of a rope and a roller set. When a user grasps a pulling member of the pulling mechanism, s/he needs to overcome the weight set on the counterweight mechanism to pull the pulling member and to train. The conventional exercise device has just a single function, so the exercise device can only be used to train a specific muscle group. When the user wants to train other muscle groups, s/he needs to use other types of exercise devices, so it is inconvenient and costly.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
