Abstract

An exercise apparatus that allows the user to perform a variety of aerobic and strength training exercises. A user input means allows the user to apply torque to an input shaft of a resistance unit. A control means adjusts the resistance provided by a resistance means coupled to said input shaft according to the output of a number of sensors. In a preferred embodiment, said resistance unit is able to simulate at said input shaft the dynamic response of a damped flywheel or the dynamic response of an object driven through a viscous medium, or to maintain the resistance at a constant level that is set by the user. The resistance unit includes a battery or an electric generator device and can be operated without connection to an external power source. Accessories may allow the apparatus to be used for rowing, arm-curl and shoulder pull-down exercises.
