A shock-free exercising machine, which can be used by the young and elderly, the small and large structured person, and the inexperienced and experienced exerciser for both aerobic and anaerobic exercise, that provides a rhythmic fluid motion to the body of the user and particularly to the legs, pelvis and spine which is completely free of shock and impact stress on the joints, bones and muscles in which, at all times, the user remains in an upright standing position. In one embodiment the exercise simulates climbing motion of the user\s legs with synchronized push-pull motion of the user\s arms. On one embodiment the exercising machine comprises a base member; a vertical frame member fixedly attached there, right and left lower levers pivotally mounted on the lower part of the vertical member, the free ends the levers for standing on; right and left upper levers pivotally mounted on the upper part of the vertical member; right and left tie rods pivotally mounted at the upper distal ends thereof to the right and left upper levers, respectively, and pivotally mounted at the lower distal ends thereof to the right and left lower levers, respectively; rocker arm assembly for synchronizing the movement of the lower levers so that when one lower lever moves downwardly the other one moves upwardly; and shock-free resistance system for resisting the movement of at least one of the levers.

An exercise machine for synchronized exercising of an user\s legs and arms while remaining in an upright standing position, the exercise machine comprising: (a) a base structure operable for maintaining the exercise machine in an upright standing position; (b) an upright frame member extending upwardly from the base structure; (c) right and left lower lever arms having first ends pivotally mounted on a lower portion of the upright frame member about a first, lower pivot axis, the opposite, free ends of the right and left lower lever arms being operable for standing on by the user\s right and left feet, respectively; (d) means for synchronizing the movement of the lower lever arms, said synchronizing means being operable when one of the lower lever arms is moving downwardly to cause the other one of the lower lever arms to move upwardly, and when the free end of one of the lower lever arms is at its lowest elevation, the free end of the other of the lower lever arms is at its highest elevation; (e) right and left upper lever assemblies each having: (i) an upper lever arm pivotally mounted on the upright frame member about a second, upper pivot axis located at an elevation above the elevation of the lower pivot axis; and, (ii) a hand grip connected to the upper lever arm and intended for hand grasping, the upper lever assemblies being operable for rotating the hand grips in a principally forward to rearward to forward motion; (f) means for synchronizing the movement of one of the upper lever arms to one of the lower lever arms; (g) means for synchronizing the movement of the other one of the upper lever arms to the other one of the lower lever arms; and (h) resistance means for resisting the movement of at least one of the lever arms.
