  • Patent number: 11065494
    Abstract: An exercising device includes a main frame, a seat, a backrest, a swing unit, a magnetically controlled damper, and an electronic control panel. The swing unit is swingably mounted on the upright of the main frame. The swing unit includes two handlebars extending from the upright to the seat respectively. The magnetically controlled damper is pivotally mounted between the swing unit and the main frame. The electronic control panel is electrically connected with the magnetically controlled damper. When the two handlebars are moved by the user, the magnetically controlled damper provides a damping force to retard movement of the two handlebars. The electronic control panel controls and regulates the resistance of the magnetically controlled damper.
