ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a device that facilitates contemporaneous exercise of the upper and lower body. The exercise device includes a treadmill rotatably mounted relative to a frame and a pair of arm poles pivotally mounted relative to the frame. Resistance to operation of the treadmill is provided by a flywheel that rotates subject to frictional resistance provided by a drag strap in contact with the flywheel. A shaft cooperates with the flywheel to maintain tension in the drag strap, and the tension may be adjusted by rotating the shaft about its longitudinal axis. Resistance to operation of the arm poles is provided by friction pads disposed between the arm poles and structure associated with the frame.
