Abstract: An exercise device which similates the rowing motion of a kayack or similar single oar craft. A pivot rod and resistance cylinders are fixed between a support frame and an oar. A coupling bracket on the oar allows the position at which the cylinders are attached to the oar to be varied, thus varying the exercise resistance. A mounting arm allows the exercise device to be fixed to a base member.
Abstract: A cable-operated exercising apparatus having at least two mechanisms for lifting a downwardly biased, vertically guided carriage. At least one of the lifting mechanisms is a cable which is maintained taut when the carriage is lifted by the other lifting mechanism so as not to become entangled with the apparatus.
