Abstract: An exercise machine has a base housing and a boom that extends from a proximal end to a distal end. The boom is able to pivot between a rowing configuration wherein the boom is generally horizontal, and a skiing configuration wherein the boom is generally vertical. A rowing assembly includes a row handle attached to a row chain which extends into the base housing, to a row recoil device. A ski assembly includes a pair of ski handles, each ski handle being attached to a ski rope which extends into the base housing, to a ski recoil device. A transmission system has a shaft that is operably connected to a resistance device, the shaft having a row sprocket and a pair of ski spools, and the respective cables contact the spools so that movement of one of the cables rotates the respective spool, thereby rotating the shaft.

Abstract: An exercise machine has a base housing, a boom having an elongate rigid body that extends from a proximal end to a distal end, and a pivot mount which pivotally mounts the proximal end of the boom on the base housing such that the boom is able to pivot with respect to the base housing between a rowing configuration wherein the boom is generally horizontal, and a skiing configuration wherein the boom is generally vertical. A seat element is slidably mounted on the boom, and ski handles attached to a ski cable which extend through ski handle stops at the distal end of the boom. A row handle is also attached to a row cable that extends from the base housing. The exercise machine further includes a resistance device, and a transmission system that connects the ski cable and the row cable to the resistance device.
