| 1. An exercise machine, comprising:
a support frame having a support base configured to provide stability to the exercise machine in order to provide a stable
exercise environment;
a single resilient elongate rod linked to the support frame, the resilient elongate rod configured to provide resistance for
use in exercise; and
a variable resistance system linked to the single resilient elongate rod, the variable resistance system being configured
to vary a mechanical advantage usable to flex the resilient elongate rod to vary the amount of resistance presented by the
resilient elongate rod for use in exercise, the variable resistance system comprising a cable and pulley system.
