Abstract
An apparatus for simultaneous upper body exercise and lower body exercise is provided. The lower body exercise is of a stairclimbing simulation type. Movement of the upper body exercise handles and lower body exercise pedals are independent from one another. Resistance to motion of the handles and pedals is provided and controlled so as to produce substantially isokinetic exercise. Step-down gears are provided so that a similar amount of upper body effort and lower body effort is perceived by the exerciser.
