Abstract

The motions of mountain climbing and running are simulated by an exerciser having a pair of movable treadles which are connected to ropes that extend around plural pulleys and having free ends provided with handles which are gripped by the user and pulled during movement of the treadles to thereby exercise both the arms and legs. The treadles are connected to hydraulic cylinders which permit the treadles to be utilized independently of the ropes.
