Full-body exercise system including a plurality of independently operable appendicular members

A full-body exercise apparatus comprising:

• a frame;
• first appendicular member extending from the frame and configured to engage a first arm of a user, the first appendicular member being movable about a first pivot axis;
• a second appendicular member extending from the frame and configured to engage a second arm of the user, the second appendicular member being movable about a second pivot axis;
• a third appendicular member extending from the frame and configured to engage a first leg of the user, the third appendicular member being movable along a first generally linear axis;
• a fourth appendicular member extending from the frame and configured to engage a second leg of the user, the fourth appendicular member being movable along a second generally linear axis;
• a first resistive element configured to provide a first resistive force on the first appendicular member about the first pivot axis independent of resistive forces applied to the second, third, and fourth appendicular members;
• a second resistive element configured to provide a second resistive force on the second appendicular member about the first pivot axis independent of resistive forces applied to the first, third, and fourth appendicular members;
• a third resistive element configured to provide a third resistive force on the third appendicular member along the first generally linear axis independent of resistive forces applied to the first, second, and fourth appendicular members;
• and
• a fourth resistive element configured to provide a fourth resistive force on the fourth appendicular member along the second generally linear axis independent of resistive forces applied to the first, second, and third appendicular members.

A full-body exercise apparatus comprising:

• a frame;
• a plurality of appendicular members extending from the frame, wherein each of the plurality of appendicular members is configured for engagement with a respective limb of a user, and wherein each of the plurality of appendicular members is movable in a degree of freedom independent of other ones of the plurality of appendicular members;
• a resistive system configured to provide a resistive force on each of the plurality of appendicular members with respect to movement in its respective degree of freedom, wherein the resistive force provided by the resistive system on each of the plurality of appendicular members is adjustable in a generally continuous manner independent of resistive forces on other ones of the plurality of appendicular members, wherein the resistive system includes:
• a regenerative motor responsive to a current to adjust a resistive torque of the regenerative motor;
• a first transmission member configured to be driven by a first one of the plurality of appendicular members;
• and
• a second transmission member configured to be driven by a second one of the plurality of appendicular members.
