ABSTRACT:
Exercise apparatus is provided for exercising all four limbs of the body. The exercise apparatus effectively simulates the anatomical movements of the body during walking and provides positive and negative resistance to all four limbs of the body during use. The exercise apparatus includes a frame having upright support members, two leg member and two arm members which are pivotably mounted to the support members at vertically spaced positions so that the leg members are generally pivotable at the hips of the user and the arm members are generally pivotable at the shoulders of the user. Hydraulic cylinders are connected between the arm and leg members to provide resistance when the arm and leg members are reciprocated in opposite directions during use of the apparatus. The distances between the hip and shoulder pivots, the hip pivot and foot platforms and the shoulder pivot and handgrips are adjustable to accommodate the anatomical differences of different size users.
