Abstract
An exercise apparatus (10) includes left and right levers (14, 16) mounted on a frame (12) to pivot about a first pivot axis (17). The left and right levers are connected to the first ends of corresponding left and right shock absorbers (18, 20). The second ends of the left and right shock absorbers are pivotally mounted on the frame by a mounting mechanism (22), including a threaded rod (78), for adjustable positioning of the second ends of the shock absorbers relative to the first pivot axis of the levers. The present invention provides for simultaneous adjustment of the resistance offered by the two shock absorbers against rotation of corresponding independent levers.
