A multi-position exercise bench includes an elongated central frame member to which a back support having a head end and a seat end is attached and to which a seat structure is attached near the seat end of the back support structure. The seat structure is pivotal between an upright position extending transversely from the central frame member and a lowered position in which a top surface of the seat structure is at an obtuse angle with respect to a top surface of the back support structure and is selectively securable in a plurality of different positions. The central frame member is supported by a first leg attached at one end of the frame member, a second leg extending transversely from an intermediate portion of the central frame member opposite the seat structure, and a third leg pivotally attached to an end of the central frame member opposite the first leg. The bench can be configured as an inclined bench supported on the first and second legs, a flat bench supported on the second leg and the third leg locked in a transverse position extending transversely from the central frame member, and a slant bench supported on the second leg and the third leg extending longitudinally away from the central frame member. The first leg also functions as a foot holder in which an exerciser can engage his feet to hold them stationary while performing exercises on the bench when the bench is in a slant board configuration. The bench also includes a dumbbell rack operatively secured onto the second leg for conveniently storing a plurality of dumbbells which can be used while performing exercises on the bench in each of the various configurations.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An exercise bench comprising:a longitudinal frame structure;a user support platform carried by said longitudinal frame structure and having a first end and a second end;a first leg assembly attached to said longitudinal frame structure and extending from said longitudinal frame structure in a generally longitudinal direction;a second leg assembly attached to said longitudinal frame structure and extending below said user support platform transversely with respect to said first leg assembly, whereby said first leg assembly extends beyond a transverse plane of said second leg assembly; anda third leg assembly attached to said longitudinal frame structure and constructed and arranged to be moveable with respect to said frame structure between a first position extending below said longitudinal frame structure transversely with respect to said first leg assembly and a second position extending from said longitudinal frame structure in a generally longitudinal direction transversely with respect to said second leg assembly,said exercise bench being constructed and arranged to be configured as (1) an incline bench supported by only said first and second leg assemblies on a generally horizontal support surface with said first end of said user support platform disposed above said second end of said user support platform, (2) a flat bench supported by only said second leg assembly and said third leg assembly moved into said first position with said first end of said user support platform at generally the same height above the support surface as said second end thereof, and (3) a slant board supported by only said second leg assembly and said third leg assembly moved into said second position with said second end of said user support platform disposed above said first end of said user support platform,wherein said exercise bench is constructed and arranged to be reconfigured from an incline bench to a flat bench by moving said third leg assembly into said first position and rotating said exercise bench with respect to the support surface about said second leg assembly until said third leg assembly is in contact with the support surface thereby lifting said first leg assembly out of contact with the support surface and to be reconfigured from a flat bench to a slant board by moving said third leg assembly into said second position and rotating said exercise bench with respect to the support surface about said second leg assembly until said third leg assembly is in contact with the support surface.
