Abstract
An exercise apparatus includes a frame, left and right leg members pivotally mounted on the frame, and left and right handlebars pivotally mounted on the frame. Various arrangements are provided to facilitate switching, during leg exercise motion, between a first mode of operation involving commensurate arm exercise motion and leg exercise motion, and a second mode of operation involving leg exercise motion without commensurate arm exercise motion.
Claims4
An exercise apparatus, comprising:
- a frame designed to rest upon a floor surface;
- a left leg member and a right leg member, wherein each said leg member is pivotally connected to said frame at a pivot axis and operable to facilitate leg exercise motion;
- a left handlebar and a right handlebar, wherein each said handlebar is pivotally connected to said frame at said pivot axis and operable to facilitate arm exercise motion;
- and
- a means for switching, during leg exercise motion, between a first mode of operation involving commensurate arm exercise motion and leg exercise motion, and a second mode of operation involving leg exercise motion without commensurate arm exercise motion.
