A power skating exercise device includes a pair of endless guide tracks, each of which have a power section and a return section and a pedal for each guide track. The pedal is mounted on a follower which is slidably mounted in one of the guide tracks. The follower is proportioned to pass freely along the return section. Drag is applied to the follower as it is driven along the drive section to resist the movement of the follower. A support frame is provided for supporting the user in a forwardly inclined semi-prone position which corresponds to the position assumed by a skater when accelerating forwardly.

A power skating exercise machine comprising: (a) a frame having a front end and back end (b) a pair of endless guide tracks arranged one on either side of the frame, each endless guide track having a power section and a return section which are connected to one another at opposite ends thereof by arcuate shaped end sections whereby the endless guide track follows a path which approximates the path of the power and return stroke of a skate of a skater when the skater is accelerating forwardly, (c) a pedal for each guide track, each pedal having a track follower mounted in one of the endless guide tracks for movement therealong, the track follower being proportioned to pass freely along the return section, track mounting means supporting the guide tracks on the frame in a position in which the power sections are arranged to diverge in a direction toward the back end of the frame and the return sections are located laterally inwardly from the power sections, (d) drag means along the power section of each track for applying a load to the follower which resists the movement of the follower therealong.
