A series of platforms travel in a selected platform path including traveling along the side member. The top surface of each platform is a predetermined horizontal distance from the top surface of an adjacent platform which corresponds to the selected angle.
An apparatus for exercising the muscles of a user is also provided. A frame has a first side and a second side. A first chain loop is disposed on the first side, at least a portion of the first chain moving at a selected angle with respect to the frame. A second chain loop disposed at the second side, at least a portion of the second chain moving at the selected angle with respect to the frame. A platform has at least a pair of diagonally opposed corners in which a first corner of the pair is attached to the first chain loop and a second corner of the pair is attached to the second chain loop. A means for controlling the movement of at least the first chain loop.
