ABSTRACT:
An exercise apparatus for performing simultaneous horizontal and vertical exercise movement has a stationary frame, upper and lower horizontal guides mounted on the stationary frame, and an exercise unit movably mounted on the horizontal guides for horizontal movement relative to the stationary frame. At least one of the horizontal guides is offset from the opposite sides of the frame. The traveling exercise unit has two vertical guides slidably linked with the horizontal guides, at least one traveling cross member linking the two vertical guides, a horizontal slide associated with the traveling cross member and slidably engaged with the offset horizontal guide to slidably link both vertical guides to the horizontal guide, two vertical slides each slidably engaged with a respective vertical guide for vertical linear movement, and a weight bearing exercise bar extending horizontally between the vertical slides. This arrangement allows simultaneous vertical and horizontal movement of the exercise bar.
