Definitions

  • the disclosure relates to an exercise machine, and more particularly to a fitness exercise apparatus.
  • the conventional exercise machine has a base seat 1, a first connecting pillar 8 that is perpendicular to and connected with the base seat 1, and a top beam 10 that is parallel to the base seat 1 and connected with the connecting pillar 8.
  • the top beam 10 is connected to a first weight stack 3 via two first guiding posts 5 that are connected to the rear of the top beam 10.
  • the top beam 10 includes a first fixed pulley 11 and a second fixed pulley 9 respectively mounted at a front and a rear of the top beam 10.
  • the conventional exercise machine has a first steel cable 4 that has one end co-movably connected with a handle bar 12, and another end that is connected with the weight stack 3.
  • the conventional exercise machine allows a user to perform weight training by pulling the mounting bar 12 and lifting the weight stack 3.
  • the conventional exercise machine is only useful for weight training and is unsuitable for cardio training as the weight stack 3 is slow in responding to the user pulling the mounting bar 12. This is due to the inertia of the weight stack 3, which causes the weight stack 3 to have a delayed acceleration under gravity after it has reached its highest point in an upwards movement. Furthermore, friction between the weight stack 3 and the guiding posts 5, and between the steel cable 4 and the first and second fixed pulleys 11, 9 exacerbates the slow response. Therefore, the conventional exercise machine is unsuitable for aerobic exercises that require quick feedback and swift movements such as rowing, cross-training, or boxing.
  • an object of the disclosure is to provide a fitness exercise apparatus that can alleviate at least one of the drawbacks of the prior art.
  • the fitness exercise apparatus includes a main frame, a seat unit, a resistance unit, a transmission unit, and an operating unit.
  • the main frame includes a base seat and a support unit that is connected to the base seat.

  • the first cable wraps around the first fixed pulley set, the first movable pulley and the movable pulley set.
  • the two second cables each wrapping around a respective one of the second movable pulleys and a respective one of the second fixed pulley sets.
  • the third cable wraps around the third fixed pulley set and the movable pulley set, and is connected to the second movable pulleys.
  • the operating unit includes at least one operating member that is connected to one of the first and second cables and pulling of the first cable drives the first movable pulley to move upwardly, thereby resulting in movement of the weight subunit against an elastic force of the elastic subunit.
  • a pulling of the second cables drives the second movable pulleys to move upwardly, thereby pulling the first cable via the third cable and the movable pulley set, and eventually resulting in movement of the weight subunit against an elastic force of the elastic subunit.
