Abstract
An exercise device includes an axial member, a rotating apparatus, a variable resistance apparatus, and two handle assemblies. The axial member defines a center axis of a central assembly of the exercise device. The rotating apparatus is configured to rotate about the center axis and includes a surface interfacing member, a hub positioned around the axial member, and a plurality of spokes. The variable resistance apparatus includes a resistance member that exerts resistance to the rotation of the rotating apparatus, and a user control device operable to change a magnitude of resistance exerted by the variable resistance member. The two handle assemblies are positioned on opposite sides of the hub.
Claims20
An exercise device comprising:
- an axial member defining a center axis of a central assembly, the axial member comprising:
- a proximal end;
- a distal end;
- and
- openings at each of the proximal and distal ends;
- a rotating apparatus configured to rotate about the center axis and comprising:
- a surface interfacing member configured to rotate about the center axis relative to the axial member;
- a hub positioned around the axial member;
- and
- a plurality of spokes extending from the hub to the surface interfacing member;
- a variable resistance apparatus comprising:
- a resistance member being singular and configured to exert resistance to the rotation of the rotating apparatus about the axial member;
- and
- a user control device operable to change a magnitude of resistance exerted by the variable resistance member;
- and
- two handle assemblies positioned on opposite sides of the hub, each handle assembly comprising:
- an intermediate member comprising:
- a first end attached to one of the proximal and distal ends of the axial member;
