This combined chest press and leg press exercise machine is comprised of an inclined seat with a weight resistance mechanism attached to handles and a foot-plate for providing adjustable resistance to arm and leg movement. At least one hand rail is positioned to aid entry to and exit from the machine and to stabilize the user while exercising.
A method for using the chest and leg exercise machine is for the user to sit on the inclined seat, hold the weight resistance handles and place his feet on the weight resistance foot-plate. He then pushes with his hands, the said handles forwards, away from the direction of the user's body. Simultaneously, he pushes with his legs on the said foot-plate also away from the direction of the user's body. The said handles and the said foot-plate are then controllably returned to their starting position and the exercise is repeated as desired.
Other methods for using the chest and leg exercise machine could be to operate the chest press and leg press independently or alternately or mostly the chest press with some help from the leg press or visa versa.
