Exercise Equipment

My invention pertains to a portable fitness apparatus that allows you to add numerous exercises to your back workout routine with the use of different angles while maintaining lesser points of body contact compared to modern gym back machines. The benefit having lesser points of body contact while using this apparatus is that you burn more calories compared to a modern gym back machine, primarily because you voluntary engage your back muscles as your primary target while involuntary engaging core muscles and quadriceps as your secondary target within the same movement. This apparatus is unique because nothing like this exists in the fitness industry. It is easily assembled, disassembled and light weight so you can take it anywhere. This invention creates a constant tension on your core muscles and quadriceps while working your back muscles, which allow you to burn more calories during your regular exercise movement, and all within the same time frame.
