ABSTRACT:
The invention is an aerobic exercise machine for exercising all major muscles simultaneously. The aerobic exercise machine includes a horizontal frame with an attached seat and two foot pedals. Two handgrips are provided at an upper end of a hand lever. The hand lever is pivotably mounted on the machine to be in front and slightly above an operator's pelvic area. The foot pedals are on the bottom end of a foot lever that is pivotably mounted directly forward of the handgrips. The hand and foot levers are connected by a separate cable to a common junction that connects to a flat belt which travels up through a vertical support over two flat pulleys and then down to a stack of free weights. The hand lever cable has an extra pulley which increases the leverage in order to more nearly match the stronger push of the leg muscles.
