The present invention relates to the field of pull/push exercise with an exercise machine that exercises the abdominal, back and arm muscles with the operator recumbent in the face upwards position. Foot contacts follow a closed elongate curve positioned above the recumbent operator. A linkage is provided for each foot contact in conjunction with a crank to drive a flywheel. Arm exercise is coordinated with the linkage.

The method of claim 8 wherein the toy figure resembles an animal including a paw, the first and second contact members are disposed on the paw, the conductive portion is configured in the shape of the paw, and said step of engaging the first and second contact members includes engaging the paw on the conductive portion. 10. A toy comprising: a toy figure including a body including: a first actuator mechanism disposed on said body, said first actuator mechanism including first and second contact members; a second actuator mechanism disposed on said body; an audio output generating circuit disposed within said body and connected to said first actuator mechanism and said second actuator mechanism, said audio output generating circuit generating a first audio output in response to the activation of said first actuator mechanism and a second audio output in response to the activation of said second actuator mechanism; and an interactive card including a conductive portion and a non-conductive portion, said non-conductive portion including an indicium associated with said toy figure, said first actuator mechanism being activated when said first and second contact members engage said conductive portion. 11. The toy of claim 10 wherein said toy figure resembles an animal including a paw, said indicium is a representation of said animal, said first and second contact members are disposed on said paw, and said conductive portion is configured in the shape of said paw. 12. The toy of claim 11 wherein said second actuator mechanism includes a switch selectively disposable between a first position and a second position, said audio output generating circuit generates said second audio output when said switch is moved to its first position, and said first and second audio outputs include one of speech and sound effects. 13. A method of generating an audio output from a toy, the toy having a toy figure including a body and a movable member coupled thereto, the method comprising: disposing a card including an upper surface having a conductive portion and an indicium disposed thereon in a confronting relation to a user; and placing the toy figure on the card so that the conductive portion bridges conductive elements disposed on the toy figure, thereby activating an audio output generating circuit in the toy figure; and moving the movable member to activate the audio output generating circuit in the toy figure. 14. A combination of an interactive card and a toy figure, said interactive card comprising: an information portion, said information portion including indicium disposed thereon; and a conductive portion adapted to be used with a toy figure that generates an output upon contact with said card; and said toy figure resembling an animal that includes a paw, said toy figure including first and second contact members disposed on said paw. 15. The combination of claim 14 wherein said indicium includes a pictorial representation of said toy figure. 16. The combination of claim 14 wherein said indicium includes text associated with said toy figure and said conductive portion has a configuration, said configuration being associated with said toy figure. 17. The combination of claim 14, wherein said conductive portion is configured in the shape of said paw. 18. An electronic toy comprising: a toy figure including a body, a first actuator mechanism disposed on said body, and an audio output generating circuit connected to said first actuator mechanism, said first actuator mechanism including first and second contact members, said body resembling an animal; and an interactive member including a conductive portion and a non-conductive portion, sa
