The device is provided at the outboard end with a body engaging subassembly which, in a lowered position, can be used for various leg exercises such as leg extensions and which, in a raised position can be used for the performance of various arm exercises such as arm curls. The device further embodies remotely located weight stack, or other resistance providing mechanism, which is uniquely interconnected with the body engaging subassembly by means of an adjustable linkage assembly to provide a constant, uniform and predeterminable resistance to pivotal movement of the body engaging elements whether the elements are disposed in a lowered or elevated position and whether the device is being used for the performance of leg exercises or arm exercises.
