DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A free-standing physical exercising device which can also be configured for use as a posture stool of the kind having a knee support on which the user can kneel while seated on the stool, comprising: a ground supported frame, a seat, a knee support, means for mounting said seat on said frame selectively in either a first position in which said seat is substantially horizontal for use as a seat or in a second position in which said seat is inclined for use as a back rest and has a lower edge thereof adjacent an edge of said knee support, means for mounting said knee support on said frame: (a) at an elevation below said seat and laterally thereof, (b) with said edge of said knee support being the part thereof closest to said seat in said first and second positions of said seat, and (c) with said knee support inclined upwardly from said edge thereof, a user handle attached to the frame for generally vertical movement, and resistance means on the frame and operatively connected to the handle for resisting movement thereof, whereby the user can grasp and move the handle to exercise.
2.
A free-standing physical exercising device according to claim 1, comprising a user foot rest on the frame substantially at ground level so that the user can stand on the foot rest and thereby stabilise the device with his body weight while grasping and moving the handle to exercise.
3.
A free-standing physical exercise device according to claim 1, and further comprising a lever pivoted on the frame about a generally horizontal axis, and a pair of handles provided on the lever whereby the handles are movable in a generally vertical arc.
4.
A free-standing physical exercise device according to claim 3, wherein the resistance means is adjustably attached to the lever so that the apparent resistance can be altered.
5.
A free-standing physical exercise device according to claim 3, wherein the lever is bifurcated into a pair of forked limbs and wherein a handle is disposed at the adjacent ends of the pair of forked limbs
