Abstract
In an exercise device having an elongate frame, a user can exercise by engaging four slides, one for each limb. The slides travel along parallel paths, enabling reciprocating motion. Each slide connects to a chain or cable segment to enable reciprocating cable motion. The motion is coupled to elongate cables (one or more) which connect to gears, causing reciprocation of clutches, thereby impulsing a fly wheel in a single direction and causing rotation.
