ABSTRACT:
A lever operated exercise apparatus is provided which a user operates while in a standing position. The apparatus includes a foot engagement assembly mounted on a frame structure. The foot engagement assembly comprises two foot engaging members which are coupled to the frame structure to move in a substantially vertical direction. A power translating mechanism comprising a lever operatively connects the frame structure and the foot engagement assembly such that a downward force applied to one of the foot engaging members produces an upward force on the other foot engaging member. This causes the foot engaging members to move in opposite direction from one another. The power translating mechanism may have two levers rigidly mounted together and connected to the foot engaging member at two different locations. This double lever keeps the foot engaging members in a substantially horizontal position while they move in a substantially vertical direction.
