ABSTRACT:
Aerobic exercise equipment includes a frame body having a base portion that rests on a floor surface, and a seat portion. Shaft portions fixed with respect to the frame body define pivot axes aligned with a front edge of the seat portion. A pair of arm exercise bars are mounted each at a side of the seat portion to swing forward about first shaft portions when the person grips the bars while seated. A pair of leg exercise bars are also mounted each at a side of the seat portion to swing upward about second shaft portions when the seated person's feet are urged against the leg exercise bars. In a preferred embodiment, all of the shaft portions on which the arm and the leg exercise bars are mounted have a common axis, and adjacent arm/leg exercise bars at the sides of the seat portion have an associated torsion spring and limit stop mechanism. Adjustable paddle assemblies are used in place of the spring mechanisms in an underwater version of the equipment.
