Abstract

An exercise device having a driving sprocket coupled to a resistive driven sprocket. Pedals are connected to the driven sprocket and rotated by foot about an axis in a first direction. The driving sprocket and pedals may then be repositioned to a second position where the sprocket may be rotated by hand. The position of the sprocket as well as the direction of rotation of the sprocket can be adjusted to exercise various parts of the body. An indicator may be coupled to the device to display the speed of sprocket rotation irrespective of the direction of sprocket rotation.
