ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for closely simulating cross country skiing includes a platform on which right and left foot engaging supports are disposed for reciprocatory sliding movement with right and left hand engaging members being operatively connected to the foot engaging supports to reciprocate in a pattern simulating cross country skiing. A control system is employed for controlling the relative movement of the foot engaging supports and hand engaging members so that a slight amount of play exists between the foot engaging supports permitting a smooth gliding motion. Means are also provided in the control system for allowing the hand engaging members to move twice as fast as the foot engaging supports so that the relative movement between the hand engaging members and foot engaging supports more closely resembles actual cross country skiing.
