ABSTRACT:
An exercise device (10) has a handlebar (30) with handgrips (32) for gripping by a user (U). An adjustment plate member (26) is mounted for pivotal movement about a pivot (28) on a fixed support plate member (18). A seat (58) supports the weight of the user U to resist to the rotation of the adjustment plate (26). A generally horizontal exercise movement is performed by pulling on the handlebar (30) and simultaneously pushing on foot pedals (70) on a foot frame (68) secured to the adjustment plate member (26). The horizontal exercise movement shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be easily converted to a vertical exercise movement shown in FIG. 3 at the discretion of the user (U) by changing the motion exerted against the handlebar (30) by the user (U). An adjustment lever (100) may be adjusted along adjustment plate (26) to vary the force exerted by the weight of the user (U) on seat (58) against adjustment plate member (26) through a force applying link (63), pivot (112), inner adjustment levers (110), and shaft (106) carried by the adjustment plate member (26). The adjustment lever (100) also is used to convert the device from pulling type exercises to pushing type exercises and vice versa.
