Bidirectional exercise device

Abstract

Rowing machine-type exercise apparatus (1), comprising a longitudinally extending central structure (5), at least two legs (8, 9) configured to support said central structure (5) relative to the ground when said exercise apparatus (1) is placed on the ground on said legs (8, 9), the exercise apparatus (1) further comprising a seat (7) mounted on said structure (5) so as to be able to slide longitudinally along said central structure (5), a front handle (14), a front cable (16) connected to said front handle (14), said exercise apparatus (1) further comprising at least two inertial retaining elements (2) configured to operate alternately to induce, in a forward or backward direction, a reaction force opposing a movement of the front handle (14) and / or a movement of the seat (7).

Claims

the front flywheel (4) and the rear flywheel (6) to the front handle (14) for exercising pull-ups on said front handle (14).

5. Apparatus (1) according to claim 4, wherein the rear bar (13) is connected directly to the front handle (14) via lateral cables (17) so as to couple both the front flywheel (4) and the rear flywheel (6) to the front handle (14) for exercising pull-ups on said front handle (14).

6. Apparatus (1) according to any one of claims 2 and 3, wherein the rear inertia wheel (6) is connected by a cable to the seat (7) so as to pull said seat (7) longitudinally backwards.

7. Device (1) according to claim 5, wherein the side cables (17) are connected to the front handle (14) by removable retaining hooks (145,146) inserted into holes (143,144) through the front handle (14).

8. Device (1) according to any one of claims 1 to 7, wherein the central structure (5) comprises a front support (22) on which is fixed a footrest support (24,26) configured to enable a user to push or pull on said bar to move the seat (7) forward against at least one of the inertial restraint elements (2)).

9. Device (1) according to claim 8, wherein the footrest support (24) has anti-slip textures.

10. Device (1) according to any one of claims 8 and 9, wherein the central structure (5) integrates, at the level of the footrest support (24,26), an angularly adjustable retaining bar (26) configured to allow a user to pull on said bar to move the seat (7) forward against one of the inertial retaining elements (2). 2G IG 3 / 7
