Benefits of technology

[0007]It is another object of the present invention to provide a universal fitness machine, which can be collapsed to reduce the dimension when not in use.

[0009]Thus, the user can hold the grips with the hands to stretch the elastic ropes, thereby exercising the muscles of different parts of the body in one of a variety of exercising postures. The user can also sit on the seat pad to perform different weight training exercises, or keep in a half squat posture with the hips rested on the seat pad of the lifter and then push up the legs, thereby training the muscles of the legs. When not in use, the major parts of the universal fitness machine can be collapsed, reducing the dimension of the universal fitness machine for storage.

Problems solved by technology

However, it is expensive to prepare many different exercising apparatus for training different parts of the body.

When prepared various exercising apparatus are not used, the storage of these exercising apparatus is another problem to be settled.
