ABSTRACT:
A multiple function exercise apparatus comprises a frame for supporting a resistance assembly such as a guided weight assembly. A cam is pivotally mounted on the frame and is operably connected to the resistance assembly. A handlebar may be attached to said cam in one of a plurality of fixed resting positions. In one mode of operation, movement of the handlebar in a first direction causes the cam to pivot in a first direction thereby moving the resistance assembly from its resting position. In another mode of operation, the movement of the handlebar in a second direction opposite the first direction causes the cam to likewise pivot in a second direction opposite the first rotational direction thereby moving the resistance assembly from its resting position. In yet another mode of operation, the cam may be locked in a fixed position. A cable connected at one end to a moveable mechanism and at the other end to the resistance assembly slidingly engages a spool located on the cam during movement of the moveable mechanism. A climbing mechanism is also provided on the frame.
