Abstract
My exercise apparatus comprises a lower body exercise machine, and an overhead upper body exercise device with a horizontally oriented, rigid handlebar connected to an elastic member suspended overhead. The positioning of the apparatus allows the user, while standing and operating the lower body exercise machine and without lifting the user's body up and off the lower body exercise machine, to operate the upper body exercise device. The user grips the handlebar and simultaneously pulls the handlebar towards the user's chest, stretching the elastic member to lengthen the elastic member, placing the elastic member in tension. Then the user slowly releases the tension and allows the elastic member to shorten in length, thus providing upper body and core muscle strengthening. The combination of the upper body exercise device and the lower body exercise machine provide a comprehensive, full body workout. A kit and method are also disclosed.
