Benefits of technology

[0012]The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a swinging and climbing or elevating exercise apparatus including a swinging structure and a climbing or elevating structure for allowing the user to conduct either the swinging or the climbing or elevating exercise with a single exercise apparatus or machine.

[0013]In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided an exercise apparatus comprising a base frame including a track provided in a rear portion of the base frame, and including a column extended upwardly from a front portion of the base frame, a handle attached to the column for supporting a user, a lever including an upper portion pivotally attached to an upper portion of the column, and including a lower portion movably engaged with the track of the base frame for guiding the lever to rotate relative to the column, and a support device slidably and movably engaged with the lever for moving up and down along the lever and for allowing the user to conduct or operate either the swinging exercise or the climbing exercise with a single exercise apparatus or machine.

Problems solved by technology

However, the user may only twist or exercise or train his waist portion only, but may not be used to conduct or operate the other exercise operations.

However, the user may not exercise or train the muscle groups in his abdominal portion or may not exercise or train his upper muscle groups.

However, similarly, the user may not exercise or train the muscle groups in his abdominal portion or may not exercise or train his upper muscle groups, and the user may have to purchase another exercise apparatus to conduct or operate the other exercise operations.
