A stroller apparatus for exercising the arms and a portion of an upper torso of a user includes a seat to receive and support a rider. A frame is coupled to the seat to support the seat in an elevated position above a ground surface. A plurality of wheels is coupled to the frame. A crankshaft is rotatably coupled to the frame and releasably engages a pair of the wheels. The crankshaft rotates the associated pair of the wheels when the crankshaft is rotated with respect to the frame and engages the associated pair of the wheels. A pair of handle assemblies is operationally coupled to the crankshaft and pivotally coupled to the frame. One of the handle assemblies pivots in a direction opposite the other one of the handle assemblies in a substantially scissor like motion to rotate the crankshaft with respect to the frame.

I claim: 1. A stroller apparatus for exercising the upper body of a user of the apparatus while the apparatus is being pushed by a user, the apparatus comprises: a seat to receive and support a rider; a frame being coupled to said seat to support said seat in an elevated position above a ground surface; a plurality of wheels being coupled to said frame and engaging the ground surface, each of said wheels rolling across the ground surface when said frame and said seat are being moved; a crankshaft being rotatably coupled to said frame and being releasably engaged to a pair of said wheels, said crankshaft rotating the associated pair of said wheels to propel said frame and said seat across the ground surface when said crankshaft is rotated with respect to said frame and said crankshaft is engaged with the associated pair of said wheels; and a pair of handle assemblies being operationally coupled to said crankshaft and pivotally coupled to said frame, one of said handle assemblies pivoting in a direction opposite the other one of said handle assemblies in a substantially scissor like motion to rotate said crankshaft with respect to said frame, each of said handle assemblies including an actuating arm being pivotally coupled to said frame, said actuating arm pivoting with respect to said frame when said actuating arm is pushed and pulled by a user, a length of said actuating arm extending upwardly from said frame being adjustable, each of said handle assemblies includes a translation rod being telescopically coupled to said actuating arm, a distal end of said translation rod with respect to said actuating arm moving in a pendulum motion when said translation rod telescopes from said actuating arm and said actuating arm is pivoted with respect to said frame. 2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein each of said handle assemblies further includes a linking arm being rotatably coupled to one of a pair of crankpins of said crankshaft and rotatably coupled to said distal end of said translation rod, said linking arm converting pendulum motion of said translation arm into circular motion transferred to the associated one of said crankpins of said crankshaft to rotate said crankshaft. 3. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a hub assembly being coupled to one of a pair of opposing ends of said crankshaft, said hub assembly being actuated to a first position to engage said crankshaft to one of the associated pair of said wheels or to a second position to disengage said crankshaft from the one of the associated pair of said wheels. 4. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a locking arm being pivotally coupled to one of said handle assemblies and being selectively extendable into a deployed position extending between one of said handle assemblies and engaging the other of said handle assemblies to inhibit pivoting of one of said handle assemblies with respect to the other one of said handle assemblies. 5. The apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising a latch pin being coupled to said locking arm to facilitate rotation of said locking arm between said deployed position and said stored position. 6. A stroller apparatus for exercising the upper body of a user of the apparatus while the apparatus is being pushed by a user, the apparatus comprises: a seat to receive and support a rider; a frame being coupled to said seat to support said seat in an elevated position above a ground surface; a plurality of wheels being coupled to said frame and engaging the ground surface, each of said wheels rolling across the ground surface when said frame and said seat are being moved; a crankshaft being rotatably coupled to said frame and being releasably engaged to a pair of said wheels, said crankshaft rotating the associated pair of said wheels to propel said frame and said seat across the ground surface when said crankshaft is rotated with respect to said frame and said crankshaft is engaged with the associated pair of said wheels; a pair of handle assemblies being operationally coupled to said crankshaft and pivotally coupled to said frame, one of said handle assemblies pivoting in a direction opposite the other one of said handle assemblies in a substantially scissor like motion to rotate said crankshaft with respect to said frame, each of said handle assemblies comprising; an actuating arm being pivotally coupled to said frame, said actuating arm pivoting with respect to said frame when said actuating arm is pushed and pulled by a user, a length of said actuating arm extending upwardly from said frame being adjustable; a translation rod being telescopically coupled to said actuating arm, a distal end of said translation rod with respect to said actuating arm moving in a pendulum motion when said translation rod telescopes from said actuating arm and said actuating arm is pivoted with respect to said frame; a linking arm being rotatably coupled to one of a pair of crankpins of said crankshaft and rotatably coupled to said distal end of said translation rod, said linking arm converting pendulum motion of said translation arm into circular motion transferred to the associated one of said crankpins of said crankshaft to rotate said crankshaft; a hub assembly being coupled to one of a pair of opposing ends of said crankshaft, said hub assembly being actuated to a first position to engage said crankshaft to one of the associated pair of said wheels or to a second position to disengage said crankshaft from the one of the associated pair of said wheels; a locking arm being pivotally coupled to one of said handle assemblies and being selectively extendable into a deployed position extending between said handle assemblies and engaging said actuating arm of the other of said handle assemblies to inhibit pivoting of one of said handle assemblies with respect to the other one of said handle assemblies. 7. A stroller apparatus for exercising the upper body of a user of the apparatus while the apparatus is being pushed by a user, the apparatus comprises: a seat to receive and support a rider; a frame being coupled to said seat to support said seat in an elevated position above a ground surface; a plurality of wheels being coupled to said frame and engaging the ground surface, each of said wheels rolling across the ground surface when said frame and said seat are being moved; a crankshaft being rotatably coupled to said frame and being releasably engaged to a pair of said wheels, said crankshaft rotating the associated pair of said wheels to propel said frame and said seat across the ground surface when said crankshaft is rotated with respect to said frame and said crankshaft is engaged with the associated pair of said wheels; and a pair of handle assemblies being operationally coupled to said crankshaft and pivotally coupled to said frame, one of said handle assemblies pivoting in a direction opposite the other one of said handle assemblies in a substantially scissor like motion to rotate said crankshaft with respect to said frame; and a hub assembly being coupled to one of a pair of opposing ends of said crankshaft, said hub assembly being actuated to a first position to engage said crankshaft to one of the associated pair of said wheels or to a second position to disengage said crankshaft from the one of the associated pair of said wheels. 8. The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein each of said handle assemblies includes an actuating arm being pivotally coupled to said frame, said actuating arm pivoting with respect to said frame when said actuating arm is pushed and pulled by a user, a length of said actuating arm extending upwardly from said frame being adjustable. 9.
