A lower-body exercise machine is provided having a frame, a carriage assembly pivotally attached to the frame and moveable in an upwardly and downwardly arcuate path about the frame, a support beam attached to and extending upwardly from the frame, and a platform pivotally attached to the frame and angling downwardly. A hookbar assembly is pivotally attached to the carriage assembly for releasably engaging the support beam to arrest the downward motion of the carriage assembly. The hookbar assembly comprises a hook bar rotatably attached to the carriage assembly, an elongated hook attached to and extending upwardly from the hook bar, and an elongated engagement handle attached to the hook bar. A rung is attached to the support beam. By moving the engagement handle upwardly, the hook bar rotates and pivots the hook towards the support beam to engage the rung and arrest the downward movement of the carriage assembly. To release the hook from the rung, the upward movement of the carriage assembly disengages the hook from the rung, and the weight of the engagement levers automatically cause the hook to pivot towards the carriage assembly. The carriage assembly includes a plurality of elongated roller pads, each roller pad being rotatably attached to the carriage assembly and able to freely and independently rotate about each roller pad\s longitudinal axis. The carriage assembly is able to pivot to a lowest position such that the carriage is positioned substantially under the slanted platform.
