1. An exercise system, comprising:
a base assembly;
a main beam pivotally connected to the base assembly;
a primary bench connected to the main beam, the primary bench comprising a first surface, as second surface opposite the first surface, a proximal end, and a distal end opposite the proximal end;
a distal leg pivotally connected to the main beam;
a flexible element;
a pin adapted to provide a temporary connection between the main beam and the base assembly;
wherein the exercise system is configured such that it operates in an upright position and extended position;
wherein a longitudinal axis of the main beam is oriented at an angle less than thirty-five degrees to vertical when the exercise system is in the upright position;
wherein the longitudinal axis of the main beam is oriented at a second angle of less than forty-five degrees to horizontal when the exercise system is in the extended position, wherein the extended position is maintained by the distal leg; and
wherein rotational movement of the main beam is coupled to the rotational movement of the distal leg such that the distal leg extends to contact the ground in the extended position and the main distal leg axis is at an angle of less than 45 degrees with respect to the longitudinal axis of the main beam in the upright position.
