Abstract
An exerciser is provided for simulating the movement of mountain climbing and running. The exerciser is equipped with a pulling unit in the front top portion of a main supporting strut. The pulling unit and a set of two pedals are independent from each other so that the user can pull the pulling unit to simulate the movements of mountaineering and running. A rotating wheel with two slide slots is rotatably installed inside an indentation in the end of a bending extension of the main strut. Two transmission ropes are wrapped around the two slide slots in opposite directions. Each of the two transmission ropes passes through a guide wheel and a positioning wheel respectively, and two handles of the transmission ropes are connected to both sides of the body of the exerciser so that the pulling angle of the two transmission ropes can be enlarged. In this manner, the user can simulate the movement of mountain climbing and running by treading on the pedals and pulling the transmission ropes simultaneously.
