Benefits of technology

[0007]Any embodiments of the exercise device disclosed herein can be compact, portable, and easy to assemble and/or set up. For example and without limitation, changing the exercise device from a collapsed state, in which the upper support members are retracted or stowed within the lower support members (hereinafter, the collapsed state), to the operable state, in which the upper support members are extended to an operable position, can be performed simply by removing a pin or fastener from either or both of the lower support members (i.e., the first lower support member and the second lower support member), lifting or extending the upper support members (i.e., the first upper support member and the second upper support member), and replacing or reinserting the pin or fastener. The pin or fastener can advance through one or more openings in the lower support members and one or more openings in the upper support members when the openings in the lower and upper support members are substantially aligned.
