The apparatus as net forth in claim 1, wherein said first add-on member is rotatable independently relative to said second add-on member. 3. The apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein said driven subparts are disposed and movable concentrically relative to said weight loading subparts of said add-on members. 4. The apparatus, as set forth in claim 3, further comprises a mechanism configured for affixing said driven subparts to said weight loading subparts, thereby allowing independently and controllably adjusting the lengths of said add-on members. 5. The apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein said support tabs are affixed to said vertical struts by a means of frictional joining, thereby allowing controllably adjusting a vertical position of said tabs relative to said struts. 6. The apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein said weights embody an elongated rectangular shape, configured to prevent inadvertent collision of said weights with knees and lower limbs of a person undertaking exercise on said apparatus. 7. A kit-of-parts configured for assembling a combined exercise apparatus from a treadmill comprising at least a first vertical strut and a second vertical strut, said kit-of-parts comprises: (a) a first support tab and a second support tab, said support tabs comprising: (I) a fastener rendering said support tabs affixable to said vertical struts;(II) at least one structural element configured to sustain rotation relative to said support tabs;wherein said fastener of said first support tab is affixable to said first vertical strut whereas said fastener of said second support tab is affixable to said second vertical strut;(b) a first add-on member and a second add-on member, said add-on members comprising: (I) a driven subpart, extending essentially towards a person undertaking exercise on said apparatus;(II) a weight loading subpart; extending essentially away from said person undertaking exercise on said apparatus;(III) a gripping handle attached to said driven subpart;(IV) a respective structural element matching said structural element of said support tabs and configured to sustain rotation relative thereto;(V) at least one dedicated structural element, configured for affixing at least one weight to said weight loading subpart;wherein said respective structural element of said first add-on member is rotatably connectable to said first support tab whereas said respective structural element of said second add-on member is rotatably connectable to said second support tab;said combined exercise apparatus is capable of assuming at least two different configurations wherein: (I) in first configuration said add-on members are oriented essentially vertically, thereby providing for a Nordic walk exercise, and(II) in second configuration said add-on members are oriented essentially horizontally, thereby providing for a weight lifting exercise;said combined exercise apparatus is characterized by that said weight loading subpart of said first add-on member is loadable with a different weight than said weight loading subpart of said second add-on member. 8. The kit-of-parts as set forth in claim 7, wherein said first add-on member is rotatable independently to said second add-on member. 9. The kit-of-parts as set forth in claim 7, wherein said driven subparts are disposed and movable concentrically relative to said weight loading subparts of said add-on members. 10. The kit-of-parts, as set forth in claim 9, further comprises a mechanism configured for affixing said driven subparts to said weight loading subparts, thereby allowing independently and controllably adjusting the lengths of said add-on members. 11. The kit-of-parts as set forth in claim 7, wherein said support tabs are affixable to said vertical struts by a means of frictional joining, thereby allowing controllably adjusting a vertical position of said tabs relative to said struts. 12. The kit-of-parts as set forth in claim 7, further comprises at least one weight affixable to said at least one dedicated structural element on said weight loading subparts. 13. The kit-of-parts as set forth in claim 7, wherein said weights embody an elongated rectangular shape, configured to prevent inadvertent collision of said weights with knees and lower limbs of a person undertaking exercise on said apparatus. 14. A method of assembling a combined exercise apparatus, said method comprises: (a) providing a treadmill comprising at least a first vertical strut and a second vertical strut;(b) providing a kit-of-parts comprising: (I) a first support tab and a second support tab; said support tabs comprising: (i) a fastener rendering said support tabs affixable to said vertical struts;(ii) at least one structural element configured to sustain rotation relative to said support tabs;(II) a first add-on member and a second add-on member, said add-on members comprising: (i) a driven subpart, extending essentially towards a person undertaking exercise on said apparatus;(ii) a weight loading subpart, extending essentially away from said person undertaking exercise on said apparatus;(iii) a gripping handle attached to said driven subpart;(iv) a respective structural element matching said structural element of said support tabs and configured to sustain rotation relative thereto;(v) at least one dedicated structural element, configured for affixing at least one weight to said weight loading subpart;(c) affixing said fastener of said first support tab to said first vertical strut said and affixing fastener of said second support tab to said second vertical strut;(d) rotatably connecting said respective structural element of said first add-on member to said first support tab and rotatably connecting said respective structural element of said second add-on member to said second support tab;wherein said combined exercise apparatus is capable of assuming at least two different configurations wherein: (I) in first configuration said add-on members are oriented essentially vertically, thereby providing for a Nordic walk exercise, and(II) in second configuration said add-on members are oriented essentially horizontally, thereby providing for a weight lifting exercise;said combined exercise apparatus is characterized by that said weight loading subpart of said first add-on member is loadable with a different weight than said weight loading subpart of said second add-on member. 15.
