ABSTRACT:
A stair climbing exercise machine comprises an upright frame and a pair of reciprocating left and right pedals pivotally mounted on the frame for independent movement between raised and lowered positions. A hydraulic control system is connected to the pedals to provide resistance to downward movement and to return each lowered pedal to a raised position independent of operation of the other pedal. In a preferred embodiment, a TV screen is mounted on the frame and is controlled by a computer to display certain information during an exercise routine, which may be overlaid on a TV program. The computer may also control the duration and difficulty of each exercise routine.
