Abstract
This is an exercising device combining a treadmill with an upper body muscle stressing device. An upright frame is supported from the base of the treadmill. A weight support frame is pivotally attached to the upper end of such frame. Weights are supported from the exercising frame. The exerciser lifts up on the exercising frame while weights exert a downward force. At the same time, the exerciser is using the treadmill to obtain aerobic level exercise.
