Abstract
Enhanced body movements and optimum exercising effects are realized in a riding type exercising apparatus which includes separated hand drive and leg drive mechanisms, wherein the hand drive mechanism is located behind the body of the user so that when the user pulls on handles of the hand drive mechanism and pushes pedals of the leg drive mechanism, the handles travel an arcuate path about a pivot point at the hand drive mechanism so that the handles are disposed at a final point that is higher than their starting point. Simultaneously, a seat supporting the user is caused to move forwardly and upwardly in the opposite direction of the handles to prevent unrestricted large arm movements by the user.
