A ski training apparatus is provided that simulate movement similar to
alpine skiing. A pivoting arm is mounted at the base of the front
vertical post and carries a parallelogram linkage assembly, with two
flanged wheels mounted on the linkage assembly. A guide swivel is mounted
on the floor base underneath the flanged wheels. Two horizontal and
parallel foot platforms are mounted on the linkage assembly for rocking
motion about vertical parallel axes. The pivoting arm, foot platforms,
flanged wheels and guiding swivel constitute a low friction mechanism
that provides the compound motion similar to that of alpine skiing. A
holding bar and a padded lower back rest will maintain the body properly
positioned.
