Bi-directional Resistance Exercise Machine

A bi-directional resistance exercise machine comprising:

• a base with at least one rail track;
• a first flywheel connected to a first resistance wheel via a first flywheel belt, whereby the first flywheel and the first resistance wheel are configured to one side of the rail track;
• a second flywheel connected to a second resistance wheel via a second flywheel belt;
• a rear pulley fixed to one side of the rail track, whereby the rear pulley is on the same side as the first flywheel and first resistance wheel;
• a first front pulley fixed to the front of the rail track, whereby the first front pulley is on the same side of the trolley rail track as the first flywheel and first resistance wheel;
• a first band that is fixed to a trolley and wraps around the rear pulley and travels back toward the first front pulley, wherein the first band wraps under and up the first front pulley, wherein the first band wraps around the portion of and is fixed to the first resistance wheel;
• a second front pulley fixed to the front of the rail track, whereby the second front pulley is on the same side of the trolley rail track as the second flywheel and the second resistance wheel;
• a second band that is fixed to the trolley and travels toward the second front pulley, wraps under and up the second front pulley, and wraps around a portion of, and is fixed to, the second resistance wheel;
• and,
• a recoil system.

A method of achieving an antagonistic work out comprising:

• obtaining a base with at least one rail track, a slideable trolley configured to slide along a trolley rail track, a first flywheel connected to a first resistance wheel via a first flywheel belt, whereby the first flywheel and the first resistance wheel are configured to one side of the trolley rail track, a second flywheel connected to a second resistance wheel via a second flywheel belt, a rear pulley fixed to one side of the trolley rail track, whereby the rear pulley is on the same side as the first flywheel and first resistance wheel, a first front pulley fixed to the front of the trolley rail track, whereby the first front pulley is on the same side of the trolley rail track as the first flywheel and first resistance wheel, a first band that is fixed to the trolley and wraps around the rear pulley and travels back toward the first front pulley, wherein the first band wraps under and up the first front pulley, wherein the first band wraps around the portion of and is fixed to the first resistance wheel, a second front pulley fixed to the front of the trolley track, whereby the second front pulley is on the same side of the trolley rail track as the second flywheel and the second resistance wheel, a second band that is fixed to the trolley and travels toward the second front pulley, wraps under and up the second front pulley, and wraps around a portion of, and is fixed to, the second resistance wheel, and, a recoil system;
• pulling the trolley toward to user's body;
• and,
• pushing the trolley away from the user's body.
