PRIORITY [0001] The present invention claims priority under 35 USC section 119 and based on application Ser. No. 60/644,174 filed on Jan. 14, 2005 and application Ser. No. 60/718,510 file on Sep. 19, 2005. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to exercise equipment and more particularly to exercise equipment that employs static and dynamic loading. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Due to an increased public interest in fitness and health, a great variety of exercise equipment has been designed in recent years. Most of such exercise equipment includes a weight resistant apparatus or a cycle apparatus or both. To meet the demand for more convenient exercise equipment, manufacturers have designed smaller units for residential use. Although, these prior art devices are more convenient than larger commercial devices, this equipment suffers from the same limitations, namely, the prior art exercise devices are unattractive and too large to be placed in a living area of a home. Thus, this equipment is relegated into the basement or garage and is either used infrequently or is totally forgotten. Stair climbing is a popular form of exercise for the cardiovascular system. However, it can over an extended period of time over stress the knees. Walking is also a popular form of exercise, but walking does not load the cardiovascular system to the extent of climbing stairs. [0004] There is a need for an exercise device that can provide a wide range of strength conditioning exercises, can be conveniently wall mounted and consume less than one square-foot of floor space and can also provide a load to the cardiovascular system. [0005] U.S. Pat. No. 6,976,941 discloses a resistive exercise system which includes a frame structure, a seat member secured within the frame structure, and a pair of opposing arm supports that a plurality of weight members positioned upon a weight shaft. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] The present invention is an exercise apparatus to exercise and strengthen the user's arms, shoulders, back and chest and to exercise and strengthen the user's legs. It can also be used as a cardiovascular conditioning device when used as a rowing apparatus. [0007] The present invention is an exercise apparatus that that is wall mounted and very space-saving. By being wall mounted, the exercise device can be kept in a convenient area of the home such as the family room. Furthermore, by having doors covering the exposed front of the exercise device, the exercise device is more aesthetic in the family room, living room, den or bedroom of the user's home. The exercise apparatus of the present invention can be folded into a minimum profile which facilitates storage.
