Abstract
The invention is a bi-level exercise apparatus in which a user assumes a crawling position and then moves arm and leg receiving slides in a back and forth motion. The slides are attached to tracks that constrain the movement of the slides to a linear, horizontal path. The apparatus further includes a gear train assembly that provides resistance to the rearward movement of the slides but allows the slides to move in a forward direction substantially without resistance.
