A new and improved portable exercise device 10, wherein a user can perform a multitude of exercises to condition numerous muscle groups of the body. The present device comprises, generally, a base 20, an armrest 40, a pulley system 60 and a variety of handles and straps. More specifically, the pulley system is carried by the base and comprises a resistance cord 62 attached to a peg 80 at the distal end of the base and extends the length of the base to the proximal end of the base. To guide the resistance cord over the base a track 72 is attached to the base wherein the resistance cord is channeled through the track. Attached to the proximal end of the base is a pulley 66. The resistance cord is channeled through the pulley which serves to provide a rotatable means for securing the resistance cord at the proximal end of the base to facilitate a multitude of vertically-angled exercises. The armrest can be hinged upward from the base and secured in an angled position by a prop 50 carried within the armrest. This angled armrest position facilitates certain exercises such as the "preacher curl". The base is hollow with a removable bottom cover 15 to allow the storage and retrieval of numerous accessories such as a single handle, a double handle 105, a leg strap 115, extension chains 110 and resistance cords 62 having varying degrees of resistance. To increase or decrease the degree of resistance, a resistance cord can be removed from the peg and replaced with a resistance cord having greater or lesser resistance as desired. As needed for the desired exercise, the single handle, double handle or leg strap may be removably attached to the proximal end of the resistance cord. Additionally, extension chains 110 may be added as necessary.
