ABSTRACT:
A flexible exercise apparatus is provided which enables the user to exercise both upper and lower body muscle groups. The apparatus includes a frame structure means, an upper body engagement means, and a lower body engagement means. The upper and lower body engagement means are coupled to the frame structure means. The user operates the apparatus while in a generally lying position. The user may push and pull backward and forward upon two handle members with their hands, which are part of the hand engagement means. This motion is transferred into a pivoting motion of the lower body engagement means, which is engaged by the legs of the user. The lower body of the user may be used to provide resistance to the upper body of the user. Conversely, the user may pivot the lower body engagement means with their legs, and move said handle members of said upper body engagement means in the foward and backward directions. The upper body of the user may be used to provide resistance to the lower body of the user. The lower body engagement means is pivotally coupled to the frame structure means such that it may be pivoted in the forward, backward, and side directions. The upper body engagement means may be coupled to the frame structure means in different ways, including pivotally coupled, coupled to move backward and forward along a generally linear path, and/or a combination of each. An optional item includes a resistance component for providing resistance to movement of the upper and/or lower body engagement means.
