Apparatus for training of muscles, comprising a support (1) wherein a sliding seat (6) is supported on a rail (4), said rail being adjustable to permit the seat sliding travels in desired angles to a horizontal plane, and two-pulley cables (7,8) are attached in the support and longitudinally adjustable, the load of said pulley cables being adjusted as desired by threading the cables in alternative running paths in the apparatus, and through which pulley cables the user moves his body along the rail while resting on the seat for training the muscles of arms, legs and body exclusively against the load of his own body weight, said load being adjusted to the user's muscle strength through an appropriate selection of the running path and power reduction of the pulley cables and the seat angle relative to the horizontal plane.

[ I claim:] [1.] An exercise apparatus comprising:a support;a rail selectively mounted to said support and being structured and arranged to selectively adjust inclination of said rail relative to a horizontal plane;a seat slidingly supported on said rail;a pair of cables selectively anchored so that the lengths of said cables are adjustable; anda pair of laterally extending extension beams mounted to said seat, each extension beam being structured and arranged along its length for operatively securing one of said cables at one of at least two locations,wherein a user supported on the seat may engage the cables to move the seat along the rail against resistance provided by the user's body weight and the resistance may be adjusted by selectively adjusting the inclination of the rail relative to horizontal.
