A multi-functional exercise shaft device facilitates performance of various exercises. The device includes a shaft having a first section slidable relative to a second section such that a length of the shaft is compressible. A biasing member resists compression of the shaft. Each of a pair of end caps is coupled to and covers a respective end of the shaft. Each of a pair of interior handles has a respective interior end coupled to the shaft. A pedal mechanism is coupled to the shaft. The pedal mechanism comprises a pedal housing, an axle extending through the pedal housing, a pair of pedal arms, and a pair of pedals. Each of the pedal arms is coupled to the axle such that the pedal arms extend from the pedal housing. Each of the pedals is rotatably coupled to an associated one of the pedal arms.
