ABSTRACT:
Apparatus that can be added to an existing ski treadmill provides resistance to a forward, as well as a rearward motion of an exerciser's arm. The apparatus includes a transverse beam attached to a body supporting post that is part of the treadmill. Longitudinal arms are hinged to the ends of this beam and swing away from their normal operating positions to allow an exerciser to mount or dismount from the apparatus. A closed rope loop having an indented portion is formed by connecting the two handgrips of a conventional ski treadmill with another piece of rope that engages, in sequence, a first pulley at the rear end of a first of the longitudinal arms, a second pulley near a hinge connecting that arm to the transverse beam, a third pulley at the other end of the beam, and a fourth pulley at the rear end of the second longitudinal arm.
