Benefits of technology

This invention provides a swing handle for exercise equipment that helps to train the lower body and flex the upper body's waist and abdominal muscles simultaneously. This synchronized movement only requires one piece of equipment, making it more efficient and effective. The overall training and fitness effect leads to increased application value and body-building effect.

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

An swing handle arrangement for an exercise equipment wherein a pair of the drive rods driven by the pedal-connecting rods is employed such that the pivot shaft mounted on the front support conducts a synchronous swing. Moreover, two swing handles fitted with a mating toothed member are pivotably connected to the top of the drive rods. Thereafter, toothed members are secured to the front support and meshed with the mating toothed member of the swing handles. A waist-twisting movement of the upper body can be synchronically achieved when the operator holds on 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...
