An exercise assembly designed to exercise the upper body including the
arms, shoulders, upper back and muscles associated therewith. The
exercise assembly is thereby particularly, but not exclusively, adapted
for use by an injured person or invalid having limited use of the legs
and/or lower torso. A track assembly includes two track segments disposed
in a convergent configuration and at least partially defining an open end
dimensioned to receive a user, when in a seated, substantially upright
position, at least partially therebetween. The user accesses two hand
grips each linearly and reciprocally along the separate track segments. A
resistance assembly includes a line interconnecting the hand grips and an
adjustable resistance mechanism engaging the line so as to apply a
movement restricting force thereto. An adjustable resistance is thereby
applied to the linear, push/pull movement of the hand grips, as applied
by the user.
