Abstract
Disclosed is a rowing machine (10) having two resistance mechanisms or flywheels (44, 49). The dual resistance is applied through the movable handle (19) and movable seat (12). The handle (19) is interconnected by means of a cord (28) to the first flywheel (44), and the seat (12) is interconnected by means of a cord (29) to the second flywheel (49). The seat (12) is mounted upon an inclined track (11) and is anatomically contoured. The resistance mechanisms (44, 49) are adjusted by means of drag straps (53, 54) and an adjuster (55). The inclination of the track (11) and the position of the foot plates (23) is adjustable.
