Exercise apparatus, and methods of use thereof. The apparatus can include a lower frame structure having forward and rearward portions; an upper frame structure extending upwardly from the forward portion of the lower frame structure; a forward engagement structure coupled to an upper portion of the upper frame structure; and a counter-resistive treading mechanism supported by the lower frame structure. In use, a user of the apparatus engages the forward engagement structure with an upper body portion of the user; engages the counter-resistive treading mechanism with the feet of the user; and displaces the counter-resistive treading mechanism by pushing rearwardly with the user's feet. The counter-resistive treading mechanism at least partially opposes the rearward displacement of the feet of the user as the user exerts a force against the forward engagement structure and the counter-resistive treading mechanism, whereby the force generated by the user's legs to rearwardly displace the counter-resistive mechanism is transmitted through the user's upper body to the forward engagement structure, thereby allowing for a substantially full-body workout of the user.
