ABSTRACT:
An exercise apparatus is provided comprising a frame having a front and a rear. A pair of arms are pivotally mounted at one end to the rear of the frame and a pedal is mounted to the other end of each arm. The arms are linked to each other such that when the arms are aligned, the arms extend forward and down so that the pivot axes are above and behind the respective pedals. An resistance mechanism may optionally be included. In use, user positions his or her feet on the pedals and, when provided, selects a desired resistance. The user then selects a desired speed and a desired range of motion and reciprocates the arms back and forth by alternately applying a force to the pedals in accordance with the selected speed and range of motion. The arm pivot axes remain behind and below the user's hips throughout the selected range of motion.
