Abstract: A vertically oriented exercise device for working out arms, legs or both arms and legs simultaneously is provided which includes a stationary base having a first adjustable vertical standard attached thereto. A rotatable pedal operated variable tension load wheel is provided near the bottom of the standard, and an adjustable seat is conveniently attached at a central location thereby allowing the user to comfortably sit while also reaching the pedals and hand grips. A second adjustable standard is provided which supports either a stationary handle or a pair of vertically oriented movable handles which are pivotally attached at the top of the second standard. The bottoms of the movable handles are attached through a set of linkages to the pedals on the load wheel. The linkages allow force applied by the user to the handles to directly turn the load wheel. Thus, the legs independently, the arms independently, or both the arms and legs together may be used to operate the load wheel.

Abstract: A vertically oriented exercise device for working out arms, legs or both arms and legs simultaneously is provided which includes a stationary base having an adjustable vertical standard attached thereto. A rotatable pedal operated variable tension load wheel is provided near the bottom of the standard, and an adjustable seat is conveniently attached at a central location thereby allowing the user to comfortably sit while also reaching the pedals and hand grips. A pair of movable, adjustable hand grips are provided which are attached through a set of pivoting linkages to the pedals on the load wheel. These linkages allow force applied by the user to the hand grips to directly turn the load wheel. Thus, the legs independently, the arms independently, or both the arms and legs together may be used to operate the load wheel. As a result, without exiting or changing anything on the exerciser, the user may shift the emphasis of force back and forth from the arms to the legs during a given workout.
