  • Publication number: 20070270292
    Abstract: An exercise system including a furniture unit having a frame, a substantially horizontal top member mounted on the frame, a pair of opposing side panels mounted on the frame, and a pair of opposing end panels mounted on the frame and extending between the side panels. The side panels, end panels and top member cooperate to define an interior volume. One of the end panels is pivotally coupled to the frame such that it pivots from a substantially vertically position away from the top member to a substantially horizontal position. A pole is pivotally coupled to the frame. The pole is disposed within the interior volume when the end panel is in the substantially vertical position. The pole extends from the interior volume and vertically upward when the end panel is in the substantially horizontal position. The exercise device includes at least one resistance band coupled to the pole.
