1. An exercise machine, comprising:
a base including a first end, and a second end, wherein the base has a longitudinal axis, wherein the base includes a track;
a carriage movably connected to the base and adapted to be moveable along a portion of the longitudinal axis of the base;
a bias member connected between the base and the carriage, wherein the bias member provides a biasing force to the carriage; and
a lifting member rotatably connected to the base at or near the first end of the base by an axle, wherein the lifting member is adapted to rotate about the axle, wherein the lifting member is adjustable between a first position and a second position, wherein the first end of the base is in a lowered position when the lifting member is in the first position, wherein the first end of the base is in a raised position when the lifting member is in the second position;
wherein the lifting member is adapted to engage with a ground surface to lift the first end of the base when the lifting member is in the second position;
wherein the lifting member comprises a first arm and a second arm;
wherein the first arm and the second arm each include a first segment and a second segment;
wherein the second segment of the first arm extends at an angle from the first segment of the first arm;
wherein the second segment of the second arm extends at an angle from the first segment of the second arm;
wherein the first segment of the first arm and the first segment of the second arm each include a first distal portion;
wherein the second segment of the first arm and the second segment of the second arm each include a second distal portion opposite of the first distal portion;
wherein the second segment extends at an upward angle when the lifting member is in the first position;
wherein the second segment extends at a downward angle when the lifting member is in the second position;
wherein the first distal portion of the first segment and the second distal portion of the second segment engage the ground surface when the lifting member is in the second position thereby lifting the first end of the base into the raised position above the ground surface.
