ABSTRACT:
Two embodiments of an exercise device are described and include a track along which a slidably mounted transducer moves as a user pulls a handle attached to a cable. The transducer is biased toward one end of the track by a force produced by a rope and pulley attached to weights or a set of elastic tubes. The cable passes through the transducer and anchors to the other end of the track such that the transducer is slid toward the other end of the track against the force when the handle is pulled. In a first embodiment, the track is curved. In a second embodiment, a linear track is rotatably mounted to provide angular adjustment and two slidable transducers are slid inward from each end of the track as the user pulls on respective cables.
