  • Exercise machine
    Patent number: 12324944
    Abstract: An exercise machine has an inclined frame and a user supporting a carriage slidingly supported on the frame for movement along the frame. A cable and pulley system is operatively connected to the frame. The carriage is operable by a user supported on the carriage to move the carriage along the frame and under the resistance of the user's weight. The cable and pulley system has a pair of forward pulls and a pair of rearward pulls, each of which may be operated by the user to move the carriage along the frame. A cardiovascular exercise device, such as for example a bicycle crank assembly may be supported on the carriage for conjoined movement with the carriage, allowing a user to operate the bicycle crank and the carriage simultaneously for cardiovascular exercise and weight lifting.
