ABSTRACT:
A machine has a base which supports a vertical shaft with handles and foot pads on a disc pivoted at its center and is linked to the shaft which has an adjustable resistance for the exerciser to build his body's strength. Also, mounted into the center of the disc, a swinging seat that oscillates freely sideways and vertically for the exerciser to sit down if he desires while exercising. In addition, under the base is a steering wheel attached to the lower end of the shaft, and two wheels which are driven by a motor, are mounted beneath the base, so that the exerciser manipulates the steering wheel by the handles to follow certain track on the floor and an electronoic eye scores each instant of missing the track in a competition of exercise and fun. Moreover, without a live exerciser, the machine can use a motor and a pitman rod mechanism which sets the machine in motion, displaying a pleasing performance of its moving parts as a fascinating toy, specially when a doll of some charecter is attached to the machine instead of the exercising person. The exercise machine can be constructed to be water-proof suitable to be put into water while it is manipulated by the exerciser.
