Abstract
Apparatus for bi-directional torso exercise movements has a main-frame base with a seat and upwardly extending columns at either side to support a 'U' shaped first sub-frame, mounted so that it pivots about a horizontal first axis passing above the seat, and a second sub-frame mounted to the first sub-frame cross bar for pivotal movement about a second axis generally perpendicular to the horizontal first axis and thereby, mounted for pivotal movement about both axes. A motion transfer linkage is provided to force simultaneous pivotal movement of both sub-frames when either is moved, so as to involve compound muscle groups in an exercise movement.
