Foldable exerciser

Abstract: A foldable exerciser includes an elongated main frame, a prop member disposed to prop the main frame in a straddle position, a saddle mounting frame pivotally connected to the main frame and having a saddle mounting segment extending rearwardly, an operating unit pivotally connected to a top end of the main frame and having opposite force and weight ends, a coupler interconnecting the saddle mounting frame and the weight end such that rearward pivoting movement of the force end toward the saddle mounting segment in the straddle position can result in movement of the saddle mounting segment forward for simulating a horse-riding action, a bracing unit including lower and upper shanks telescopically fitted to each other, and a damper member disposed to bias the upper shank away from the lower shank so as to counteract an impact generated as a result of plunging of the saddle mounting segment toward the upper shank.
