Abstract

An exercise device having a base with a lower body exercise mechanism for exercising a lower body of an operator. Pivotable hand levers provide upper body resistance for the operator in a first operating mode. A locking mechanism locks the pivotable hand levers in a plurality of fixed positions within a range of motion of the operator in a second operating mode. The pivotable hand levers operate as handle bars when in the second operating mode. A bridge structure connects the pivotable hand levers in the second operating mode. The locking mechanism also permits the pivotable hand levers to be locked in a forward, fixed position out of a range of motion of the operator. The pivotable handle levers may include an operator activated communication mechanism for controlling an electronic display and/or an electronic resistance control unit. The communication mechanism is preferably wireless, such as infrared or ultrasonic.
