An exercising machine having a board slidable on a beam has a rope and pulley system by means of which an exerciser sitting on the board pulls himself up an incline. To increase the resistance rubber bands are looped between axles and on the board and the beam respectively. In other embodiments other pulley systems are used and a plurality of bands may be used on each side of the machine.
