ABSTRACT:
A rowing exercise machine of the type in which a wheel with air paddles is rotated by an operator by pulling on a pull bar attached to a chain which extends around gears on the wheel axle, while sitting on a seat which rolls back and forth on a support beam. To return the chain after a rearward simulated rowing stroke, a rope is attached at each end to the outer end of the pull bar, and extends rearwardly around suitably positioned pulleys to connect with the end of the chain opposite the end which is attached to the pull bar. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the rope is passed through an eye at the end of the chain so that it can pass freely therethrough, allowing adjustment of the angle of the pull bar.
