ABSTRACT:
A wheeled platform to be attached to the feet of an exerciser and rolled back and forth along the ground in front of the exerciser while he or she pulls on handles against resistance. The handles are attached to cords which wind around pulleys which are rotatably attached to a resistance mechanism mounted on the wheeled platform. Simultaneously pulling the handles away from the platform and pushing the wheeled platform away from the handles as in a rowing motion operates the resistance mechanism to provide a resisting force for exercise, and operates an energy dissipating device to shed the energy created by the resistance mechanism. After the handles have been pulled the desired distance from the platform the resistance is disengaged and a rewinding mechanism rewinds the cord as the wheeled platform is pulled back towards the user.
