摘要：A standing push/pull exercise machine includes a frame with first and secondframe sections located on opposite sides of a midplane, and defining a standing exerciseposition therebetween. Each frame section includes a pivotal lever which is pivotal against

a selected weight resistance, preferably along a movement path which converges towardthe midplane with respect to the forward facing direction of an exerciser. One of theframe sections and its corresponding levers is located further rearward of the otherframe section and lever, and it is adapted for movement against a weight resistance via apushing motion, while the other lever is adapted for movement against a weightresistance via a pulling motion. Thus, this exercise machine enables an exerciser tosimultaneously perform, from a standing position, a pushing and a pulling exercisemotion along prescribed converging paths of motion, thereby to achieve optimal“positive” and reverse exercise for the same muscle groups located on opposite sidesof the body. A mirror image of the exercise machine may be used to work the musclegroups in the other direction, i.e., in a pull/push motion to get the full benefit ofpositive/reverse exercise motion along the prescribed paths. Also, simultaneousperformance of the push/pull (or the pull/push) exercise motion provides muscularbenefits for the midsection, due to a twisting effect generated at the torso.
