ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for strength and aerobic conditioning is disclosed, and comprises a frame with support from which a support arm projects. A rotatable hub is mounted on the support arm, and a suspension rod with a resistance mass at one end depends from the hub. The suspension rod is slidable through the hub and may be set in different angular positions relative to the hub. A crank with a handle and adjustable-length offset arm are engaged with the end of the support arm opposite the hub. A stand or platform for secure footing may be used across the base of the frame or, alternatively, a treadmill/workout bench, when unfolded folded, may be used under foot. The treadmill/workout bench has a rectangular frame with side rails; cross braces; forward, rearward and interior rollers; and, one or more endless, circulating belts. An electromechanical fitness planning and evaluating embodiment includes motion and position sensors associated with moving parts of the apparatus, a video monitor mounted on a standard upstanding from the frame, and a control box with a microprocessor to which both the sensors and the video monitor are connected.
