Abstract
An arcuate hand rail for exercise equipment accommodates both varying height individuals as well as individuals leaning towards the exercise machine by orienting and positioning the arcuate hand rail such that a vertical tangent thereto lies at or adjacent the average vertical center line of an exercising individual on the exercise apparatus in a stand-up orientation. This placement of the tangent point at or adjacent the average vertical center line of the standing individual permits a wide range of individuals to grasp the hand rail when exercising in a stand-up mode, with elbows bent in a comfort range of 15.degree.-55.degree. to the horizontal while at the same time, as an additional benefit, providing arm-extended grip points for comfortable lean-forward exercise.
