Abstract
An exercise apparatus which comprises a track, a track carriage slidably disposed on the track, and a resistance system for providing unidirectional, selectively variable resistance to the track carriage. The track carriage is capable of sliding along the track in a first direction when a force is applied to the track carriage sufficient to overcome the resistance force of the resistance system, and whereby the track carriage is capable of sliding along the track in a direction opposite to the first direction when the applied force is diminished.
Claims13
An exercise apparatus comprising:
- a track including an elongated track member having first and second ends substantially opposite to one another;
- a track carriage slidably disposed on the track;
- a resistance system for providing unidirectional, selectively variable resistance to the track carriage;
- a strut connected to the first end of the track member, the strut extending in a direction substantially parallel to the track member;
- and
- a pad on the strut, the pad being adjustable along the strut to facilitate use of the exercise apparatus by different sized users;
- whereby the track carriage is capable of sliding along the track in a first direction when a force is applied to the track carriage sufficient to overcome the resistance force of the resistance system, and whereby the track carriage is capable of sliding along the track in a second direction opposite to the first direction when the applied force is diminished.
