An exercise device includes a main pulley configured to rotate about a hub and having a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a peripheral surface. The exercise device also includes a lower pulley coupled to a resistance drum and a belt wrapped partially around the peripheral surface of the main pulley coupling the main pulley to the lower pulley. Brake lining is positioned inside the resistance drum and are configured to be adjusted inwardly and outwardly along interior sidewalls of the resistance drum. In addition, a cable is coupled to the brake lining to control an amount of resistance to a rotation of the resistance drum, and a crank shaft is coupled to a hub of the main pulley and configured to be operated by feet of an individual for rotating the main pulley about the hub against the resistance to exercise the individual.
