Embodiment Construction

[0016]FIG. 1 is a side view of one embodiment of a chair 10 adapted to facilitate the performance of various exercises. The chair 10 is suitable for use in an office, and such chairs are commonly referred to as office chairs. Moreover, in the embodiment of FIG. 1 the chair 10 has a high back, and such chairs are often referred to as executive or managerial office chairs.

[0017] In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the chair 10 includes a seat 12 having a top surface 14 and an opposed bottom surface 16, and a base assembly 18 attached to the bottom surface 16 of the seat 12. In general, the base assembly 18 is adapted to support the seat 12 at a user-selected elevation above a floor surface.

[0018] In general, the chair 10 also includes at least one resistance cable having two opposed ends, wherein one of the ends is anchored by the base assembly 18 and the other end is connected to a handle. While we specify that the resistance cable is anchored by the base assembly, this should be expressl...

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] Not Applicable STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH [0002] Not Applicable BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] 1. Field of the Invention [0004] This invention relates generally to chairs, and more particularly to chairs adapted to facilitate the performance of exercises. [0005] 2. Description of Related Art [0006] Office workers typically spend many hours a day sitting in a chair. At the same time, it is well known that physical activity is required to develop and maintain physical fitness. Many different types of exercise machines are available that are designed to force one or more muscles to push or pull against a mechanical resistance. However, such exercise machines are so bulky and / or expensive that they are typically found only in health clubs or gymnasiums. Office workers often complain that they have too little time during the work day, and are too tired by the end of the work day, to travel to a health club or gymnas...
