An exercise machine that enables an exerciser to perform golf club swings, baseball bat swings, canoeing strokes, football kicks, tennis serves, ball throwing, weight lifting, bike exercise, and numerous other athletic motions with preselected amounts of resistance. The machine incorporates a free wheeling flywheel having variable resistance in one direction so that backswings are accomplished with no substantial resistance. The flywheel is positionable and lockable at a height selected by the user, and is further positionable and lockable at any preselected angle relative to a horizontal axis and at any preselected angle relative to an axis orthogonal to the horizontal axis. Attachments that simulate golf clubs, baseball bats and the like are secured to the axle of the flywheel and are swung or otherwise manipulated by the exerciser to increase the strength of muscles specifically used during the selected athletic motion.

An exercise machine, comprising: a pair of laterally spaced apart triangular support members; each of said support members including a vertical back frame member, a horizontal top frame member that projects forwardly with respect to said back frame member, and a diagonally disposed frame member that extends in interconnecting relation between a forwardmost end of said top frame member and a lowermost end of said back frame member; a rotatably mounted flywheel member having an adjustable resistance positioned intermediate said triangular support members in general and intermediate said diagonally disposed frame members in particular; said flywheel member having an axle that defines its axis of rotation; a non-rotatably mounted housing for said flywheel member; a first transversely disposed mounting pintel having an inner end secured to a first side of said housing and an outer end movably secured to an associated diagonally disposed frame member; a second transversely disposed mounting pintel having an inner end secured to a second side of said housing and an outer end movably secured to an associated diagonally disposed frame member; a preselected accessory means that simulates a piece of athletic equipment being secured to said flywheel axle; means for adjusting the resistance of said flywheel member; said flywheel housing being rotatable about an axis of rotation collectively defined by said first and second mounting pintels; stop means for holding said flywheel housing and hence said flywheel member in a preselected position of rotation about said axis of rotation; whereby an exerciser may preselect an accessory means and an angular position for said flywheel member and perform at least one exercise by moving said accessory means against the resistance offered by said flywheel member.
