Abstract: Exercising apparatus comprises a main frame 1 providing a seat 3. A cable 7 leads from a bar to be raised or lowered by the arms or legs of the user, to a group of weight members 9 to be lifted. These weight members 9 comprise a closed rigid container with a filling opening allowing water or sand to be poured in to achieve a desired weight, the aperture then being closed by a cap. Each weight member is shaped at the sides to provide recesses to receive vertical guide tubes 10 and 11 and the undersurface of each weight member incorporates a guide slot for receipt of a locating rod which will be interconnected with a yoke 8 to which the cable 7 is attached, the arms of the yoke passing into passageways through each weight member 9.
