ABSTRACT:
The invention is a vertically-disposed exercise machine that is designed to accommodate a user who is in a standing position. The machine includes a lower crankset having pedals adapted to receive a user's feet. The machine has an height adjustable upper crankset that is independent from the lower crankset and includes outwardly-extending handles that are designed to be grasped by the user. Each crankset is operatively connected to its own flywheel by a chain or belt. Each flywheel has its own manually adjustable resistance mechanism that allows the user to independently adjust the resistance to rotation of each crankset. When operating the machine, a user can selectively cause the rotation of the upper and/or lower cranksets by appropriate movement of his hands and/or feet.
