Abstract: An exercise machine of the horse-type on which a user is seated and glides generally horizontally in a reciprocal motion. The present invention comprises a support frame, a seat assembly, a unitary handlebar/footrest assembly, and a glide assembly. The glide assembly is pivotally and operably linked to he seat assembly by a seat riser arm, which in turn is pivotally and operably linked to the handlebar/footrest assembly by a linkage bar. The frame includes generally a rear vertical support fixedly extending upwardly and perpendicularly from a rear base foot, a longitudinal rail assembly upon which the glide assembly reciprocally moves and further includes a front vertical support fixedly extending upwardly and perpendicularly from a front base foot.

The present invention comprises a support frame, a seat assembly, a unitary handlebar/footrest assembly, and a glide assembly. The glide assembly is pivotally and operably linked to the seat assembly by a seat riser arm, which in turn is pivotally and operably linked to the handlebar/footrest assembly by a linkage bar. The frame includes generally a rear vertical support fixedly extending upwardly and perpendicularly from a rear base foot, a longitudinal rail assembly upon which the glide assembly reciprocally moves and further includes a front vertical support fixedly extending upwardly and perpendicularly from a front base foot. The front vertical support allows the pivotal attachment of the handlebar/footrest assembly forward of the vertical leg support. The glide assembly is equipped with a frictional means by which added resistance may be variably applied.
