INVENTION APPLICATION CROSS COUNTRY SKIING MACHINE SIMULATOR ABSTRACT This invention describes a cross country skiing exerciser consisting if a metal frame which contains four tracks on which four carriages slide: two for the trainee's feet and two for his ski poles, all said carriages being interconnected via a flexible steel cable running over a plurality of pulleys in such manner as to simulate cross country skiing. SPECIFICATION Medical and fitness authorities agree that the best cardiovascular exercise is cross country skiing. Some of the reasons are: 1. Rapid rise in heart rate and oxygen consumption. 2. More muscles involved than in almost any other sport. 3. Stand up exercise--works some of the largest muscles in the body for greater oxygen consumption. 4. Fluid, natural movements, akin to long stride walking. 5. Less boring, people will exercise longer. 6. Non jarring, far easier on joints and ligaments than jogging or jumping in place. 7. Promotes flexibility of the joints because of the large number of joints being flexed. The present invention relates to a machine which closely simulates the movements of a cross country skier. The machine can be used indoors to train for cross country skiing in the off-season or to train for cardiovascular (aerobic) fitness and can be used by men and women of all ages. Most fitness machines presently on the market exercise only one or two muscle groups. For example, bicycle exercises work only on leg muscles. Rowing machines use primarily the arms and upper thigh muscles (quadriceps). Good aerobic exercise such as jogging or jumping in place are very hard on the joints and can lead to serious injury. Next to cross country skiing, the best cardiovascular training can be achieved in a cross country skiing simulator such as the one described here.
