AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a swing handle arrangement for an exercise equipment that helps to train the legs and the muscles of the upper body simultaneously. It achieves this by synchronizing the swings of the operator's upper and lower body through a single exercise device. This results in a more effective training and increases the value of the exercise equipment.

Problems solved by technology

However, they can be held by both hand of the operator only for conducting a forward and backward swing action that simulates the movement of the extremities when people walk or run.
However, it is not beneficial to the waist and abdominal muscles of the operator.

Abstract

A swing handle arrangement for an exercise equipment having a pair of drive rods driven by the pedal rods such that longitudinal drive gears fixed at the drive rods are cooperated with swing handles having the lateral drive gears for conducting a swing action. In this way, a waist-twisting movement of the upper body can be synchronically achieved when the operator holds the swing handles to take exercise at his feet of the lower body.

Description

[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Pat. No. 7,794,361 and entitled “SWING HANDLE ARRANGEMENT FOR AN EXERCISE EQUIPMENT”BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Fields of the Invention[0003]The invention relates to a swing handle arrangement for an exercise equipment, and more particularly, to a structure through which a leg movement of the lower body and a waist-twisting movement of the upper body can be synchronically achieved.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]As well-known, the fitness apparatus used for training the legs, such as fitness bike, treadmills or elliptical cross trainers, etc. is provided with structure on which the operator's feet stand. Some of the above-mentioned apparatuses include additional coupled handles on which both hands of the operator hold. However, they can be held by both hand of the operator only for conducting a forward and backward swing action that simulates the movement of the extremities when people walk or run. In othe...
