A "Complete Body Fitness Machine" that provides for a muscle building workout
as
well as a cardiovascular workout for the total body consists generally of an adjustable
seat and two arms on either side, which are adjustable in height and have an infinitely
and independently variable resistance possible in either clockwise or counterclockwise
rotation. The arms are designed to have several types of mechanisms attached, so
as to be able to work with a variety of body parts including, but not limited to,
hands, arms, legs, feet, torso, neck and shoulders. When the proper attachment
is used, the resistance for each direction of rotation of the arm is set, and the
exercise is conducted. Depending on the workout desired, the seat and arms could
be adjusted to different positions as well as the seat can be free-moving. This,
combined with the fact that the arms can rotate 360-degrees, allows the user to
simulate rotational cardiovascular exercises such as cycling, rowing, rotation
of the arms in a circular motion (similarly to how the legs rotate in the cycling
motion), and even running. The two independent arms are infinitely and separately
adjusted for resistance in either rotational direction. This means that the body's
natural design of using opposing muscle groups such as the bicep and triceps to
bend and straighten the arm can be not only be utilized, but also maximized for
efficiency of operation and workout.
