Abstract

A system and method of using two exercise machines for performing a wide range of exercise movements that utilize both of the exercise machines in concert. The system and method of using two exercise machines generally includes first exercise machine and a second exercise machine which are used in concert to perform a wide range of exercise movements. The first exercise machine may include a track, a carriage movably connected to the track, and an end platform. The second exercise machine may include its own separate track, a carriage movably connected to the track, and an end platform. The exercise machines may be positioned side-to-side in parallel orientation such that an exerciser may perform various exercise moves by positioning different limbs on the respective carriages, end platforms, and/or tracks of the exercise machines, in addition to the surface underlying the exercise machines.

Claims19

Dependent claims

A method of exercising with a first exercise machine and a second exercise machine wherein the first exercise machine is not connected to the second exercise machine, wherein the first exercise machine comprises a first track, a first end platform directly or indirectly connected to the first track, a first carriage movably connected to the first track, a first end, a second end, and a first longitudinal axis extending therebetween, and wherein the second exercise machine comprises a second track, a second end platform directly or indirectly connected to the second track, a second carriage movably connected to the second track, a first end, a second end, and a second longitudinal axis extend therebetween, and wherein the first longitudinal axis of the first exercise machine is parallel with the second longitudinal axis of the second exercise machine, the method comprising the steps of:

positioning a first limb of an exerciser on the first carriage of the first exercise machine;
positioning a second limb of the exerciser on the second carriage of the second exercise machine;
moving the first carriage along at least a portion of the first track of the first exercise machine with the first limb by the exerciser;
and
moving the second carriage of the second exercise machine along at least a portion of the second track with the second limb by the exerciser, wherein the first carriage of the first exercise machine moves independently with respect to the second carriage of the second exercise machine.

A method of exercising with a first exercise machine and a second exercise machine, wherein the first exercise machine comprises a first track, a first end platform directly or indirectly connected to the first track, a first carriage movably connected to the first track, a first end, a second end, and a first longitudinal axis extending therebetween, and wherein the second exercise machine comprises a second track, a second end platform directly or indirectly connected to the second track, a second carriage movably connected to the second track, a first end, a second end, and a second longitudinal axis extend therebetween, and wherein the first longitudinal axis of the first exercise machine is parallel with the second longitudinal axis of the second exercise machine, the method comprising the steps of:

positioning a first limb of an exerciser on the first carriage of the first exercise machine;
positioning a second limb of the exerciser on the second carriage of the second exercise machine;
positioning a third limb of the exerciser on the first end platform of the first exercise machine;
positioning a fourth limb of the exerciser on the second end platform of the second exercise machine;
moving the first carriage along at least a portion of the first track of the first exercise machine with the first limb by the exerciser;
and
moving the second carriage of the second exercise machine along at least a portion of the second track with the second limb by the exerciser, wherein the first carriage of the first exercise machine moves independently with respect to the second carriage of the second exercise machine.
