ABSTRACT:
A body exercising apparatus (10) is provided which allows for individual and combinational exercising of an upper body portion (12) and a lower body portion (14) of a user (16). The body exercising apparatus (10) includes a frame (18) having opposing and longitudinally displaced front and rear sections (22 and 24). There is provided an upper body exercising mechanism (46) which allows the user to grip a pair of hand grip members (54) and rotatively actuate a pair of hand actuated rotating shafts (50) through a crank arm joint mechanism (60) in a variety of orientations with respect to frame (18). Additionally, there is provided a lower body or foot positioning mechanism (90) which allows for adjustable force rotation by a pair of pedal members (96). Through use of independently operated upper body and lower body frictional adjustment mechanisms (80 and 114), the user has at his or her disposal an overall exercising apparatus (10) where a variety of muscles in both the upper and lower body (12 and 14) may be exercised.
