ABSTRACT:
An attachment is provided for use with a NORDICTRACK CROSS-COUNTRY SKI EXERCISER, which greatly reduces the time for comfortable use of the exerciser and which provides ski-pole operation exercise. The attachment (14, FIG. 1) comprises a framework (30) that includes stationary guides (32, 34) mountable on opposite sides of the existing machine (12) and a pair of slides (40, 42) that are each slidable in forward and rearward directions on a corresponding guide, with the bottoms of ski poles (44, 46) being mounted on each slide. A cable (62) that extends around pulleys mounted on the framework, connects the two slides to cause them to move in synchronism. The guides are sidewardly spaced from opposite sides of the machine frame (36) to provide enhanced lateral stability, for the person exercising. The arm rope pulling mechanism of the NORDICTRACK exerciser provides resistance to ski pole movement. The attachment 14 attaches to the NORDICTRACK frame with four bolts and wing nuts at existing NORDICTRACK bolt hole locations.
