Abstract
Abstract A gymnastic apparatus having a pair of spaced parallel upright posts, each post having a horizontally extending crossmember independently secured thereto at the upper end of the post. The crossmembers are in substantially coplanar alignment, and together with the upright posts form a pair of parallel T-shaped members. A plurality of spaced horizontal bars are interposed between the crossmembers and are connected at the opposite ends to the crossmembers. The crossmembers and spaced bars thus form a horizontal ladder for exercising. The crossmembers and upright posts provide a common support structure for a plurality of exercising devices, including a punching bag and heavy training bag, each secured at opposite sides to the crossmembers and a basketball backstop and a climbing rope each secured to the outer ends of, and held in place by, a pair of upwardly and outwardly inclined bars whose inner ends are secured to the crossbars at opposite ends of the device. Each upright post is adjustable with respect to its height.
