<p>An exercising apparatus (10) provides a frame (12, 26) with a seat (18) and a foot rest (136) positioned to place a user's legs in a generally forwardly extended position. A pair of laterally oppositely located handles (126, 128) that are longitudinally moveable between the positions of the seat (18) and foot rest (136) and laterally moveable between a central position and a separated position. A variable resistance device employs a flywheel (38) with centrifugal clutches (114) to proportionately oppose the longitudinal forces on the handles (126, 128) while a diverting mechanism (122, 124) laterally redirects a portion of the longitudinal forces to yieldably urge the handles (126, 128) to move toward either the separated or central positions, depending upon the longitudinal direction of handle movement. A leg exerciser (82, 84) operates from the same flywheel (38) to simulate the full range leg movement of steep climbing.</p> |
