<p>An exercising apparatus especially suited for use in simulating ice skating. The apparatus has a standard (16) at the front end with a handle (18) mounted on the top of the standard. Towards the rear are two tracks (28) arranged in a rearwardly opening V. Two foot pad assemblies (30) are supported on respective ones of the tracks by wheels (46) mounted directly under the foot pads so as to carry most of the body weight of a user. The two foot pad assemblies (30) are linked by a common cable (54) that runs over a pulley system (56, 58, 60). Movement of the foot pads displaces part of the pulley system (58) against the force of a gas spring (68), which is adjustably mounted to provide for varying resistance to movement.</p> |
