  • Patent number: 7625318
    Abstract: Exercise apparatus is shown with a column attached atop a base. A junction box attached atop the column has emerging therefrom a plurality of shafts including a top shaft, a front shaft, and a pair of side shafts. One or more of the shafts offers resistance to rotation in either direction. Thus, a user can exercise by turning at least one of the plurality of shafts. For example, the top shaft can be rotated to simulate the workout associated with cranking a sailing winch. Alternatively, a crossbar attached through an arm to the front shaft can be used to rotate the front shaft during a workout. A pair of cranks may be attached to the side shafts and can be driven manually when the junction box is in a raised position, or pedally in a lowered position. In some cases the pair of pedals have substantially the same phase. Then, after separately securing a user's feet on different respective ones of the in-phase pedals, the user rotates the pedals in synchrony, by simultaneously pulling and then pushing pedally.
