An exercise apparatus includes a base member, an elongated and rectilinear central shaft with axially opposed top and bottom ends, first and second couplings attached to the top and bottom ends respectively, first and second handles coupled to the first coupling and extending outwardly away from the central shaft, first and second leg rails attached to the second coupling and extending laterally away from the central shaft, and a rectilinear auxiliary shaft with axially opposed top and bottom ends connected to the second coupling and the base member respectively. The apparatus further includes a mechanism for rotatably connecting the auxiliary shaft to the base member, and a bracket adjustably and selectively mated along a longitudinal length of the central shaft.
