ABSTRACT:
An exercise machine has a-first track and handlebar assembly for simulation of cross-country skiing and a second track and handlebar assembly for simulation of downhill slalom skiing. The first track assembly has first and second elongate, parallel rails. A footpad engages each rail and is adapted to move along the length of its respective rail. A pair of handlebars are pivotally mounted at a location near one end of the first and second elongate rails. The second track has first and second arched rails. A platform is releasably mounted on said first and second arched rails and is adapted to move from one end of the rails to the other. A handlebar is provided for grasping during use of the platform for exercising. Resiliently flexible tension bands or chords are used to resist movement of both the first and second footpads and the platform.
