ABSTRACT:
A relatively low cost, lightweight user propelled treadmill that provides the user with a full body workout. The treadmill includes a housing which supports a tread for rotation around front and rear rotatable drums. Extending upwardly from the housing are a pair of user actuated handlebars which are adapted for back and forth movement relative to the housing. The handlebars are coupled to the front rotatable drum by a one way clutch so that the movement of the handlebars generated by the user is translated into a corresponding movement of the tread without the assistance of an electric motor. The one way clutch is located within the front rotating drum so as to be able to grasp and rotate the drum in the same direction as the clutch whenever the clutch is rotated in a particular direction.
