         9 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , further comprising one or more extended members attached to the pedal assembly for an alternative exercise motion. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one of a handle or a grip attached to the pedal assembly for alternative upper limb exercise motion. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a shoulder backward press assembly having
 a head rest connected to a shoulder support member. 
   
     
     
         12 . A method, comprising:
 adjusting the body support portion, of the apparatus of  claim 1 , to an appropriate exercise position having height and angle;   adjusting the frame apparatus, to the appropriate exercise position including securing a stabilizing member to hold the appropriate exercise position;   placing feet in the pedal assembly while placing torso in a supine position on the body support portion; and   pedaling the pedal assembly with force in a cycling motion against a resistance generated by the contactless eddy braking assembly.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 holding a neck and shoulders in a static position on the body support portion while pedaling continuously.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 interlocking fingers behind a head while pedaling with elbows in an outward position;   elevating a neck and shoulders off of the body support portion while pedaling continuously; and   lowering the neck and shoulders back to an upper surface of the body support portion.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 performing a sit-up motion at varied intervals while pedaling continuously.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 holding a neck and shoulders in a static position elevated above the body support portion.
