Each operating rod has a handle and is inserted in one of the through apertures to be connected to one of the pivoting joints, a lower end of each operating rod being attached to one of the pedaling members. The resistance unit has a driving wheel, a passive wheel, and a transmission member coupling the driving wheel to the passive wheel, the driving wheel and the passive wheel respectively mounted in the main body via a driving wheel axis and a passive wheel axis, and a flywheel is coaxially installed with the passive wheel. The driving wheel drives the flywheel to rotate via the transmission member and the passive wheel; and wherein the resistance unit further has a magnetic member pivoted on the main body configured to passively generate different resistances to the flywheel and the pedaling member. Each pedaling member has a pedal pole, a first connecting rod, and a second connecting rod, the pedal pole attached to a lower end of one of the operating rods and has a pedal at one end and another end pivoted onto the main body via a pivoting connector, and the first connecting rod is installed between the pedal pole and the second connecting rod. A free end of the second connecting rod is secured onto the driving wheel axis, such that the pedals of the two pedaling members are configured to drive the driving wheel via the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod.

Other objects, advantages, and novel features of invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

First, please refer to FIGS. 1 to 6. An exercise machine, comprises a main body 10, two operating rods 20, a resistance unit 30 and two pedaling members 40. The main body 10 comprises a base 11 and a standing pole 12, two sides of the standing pole 12 are both respectively pivoted with a pivoting joint 13.

Each pivoting joint 13 has a through aperture 131 for accepting one of operating rod 20, and a supporting frame 14 is installed between the standing pole 12 and the base 11.

The operating rod 20 comprises a handle 21 and is inserted in one of the through aperture 131 to be connected to one of the pivoting joint 13. A lower end of each operating rod 20 is attached to one of the pedaling member 40. The resistance unit 30 comprises a driving wheel 31, a passive wheel 32 and a transmission member 33 coupling the driving wheel 31 to the passive wheel 32.

The driving wheel 31 and the passive wheel 32 are respectively mounted in the main body 10 via a driving wheel axis 34 and a passive wheel axis 35.

Furthermore, a flywheel 36 is coaxially installed with the passive wheel 32, when the driving wheel 31 drives the flywheel 36 to rotate via the transmission member 33 and the passive wheel 32.

Moreover, the resistance unit 30 further comprises a magnetic member 37 pivoted on the main body 10 configured to passively generate different resistances to the flywheel 37 and the pedaling member 40 due to the distance between the magnetic member 37 and the flywheel 36 controlled by external force.

The pedaling member 40 has a pedal pole 41, a first connecting rod 42 and a second connecting rod 43. The pedal pole 41 is attached to a lower end of one of the operating rod 20 and has a pedal 411 at one end and another end pivoted onto the main body 10 via a pivoting connector 44. The first connecting rod 42 is installed between the pedal pole 41 and the second connecting rod 43. A free end of the second connecting rod 41 is secured onto the driving wheel axis 34, such that the pedals 411 of the two pedaling members 40 are configured to drive the driving wheel 31 via the first connecting rod 42 and the second connecting rod 43.

In addition, the base 11 has an H-shaped structure.

Also, the main body 10 further comprises two housings 15 for covering the resistance unit 30.

Furthermore, a horizontal rod 16 is placed and secured between the pivoting joint 13 and the standing pole 12 to connect the pivoting joint 13 to the standing pole 13.

Moreover, the standing pole 12 further comprises a armrest 17 and a control panel 18.

Additionally, a resistance controller 19 is provided on the standing pole 12. The resistance controller 19 is connected to the magnetic member 37 through a cable, so that through the rotation of the resistance controller 19, and the magnetic member 37 can be driven close to or away from the flywheel 36 through the cable.

Again, a length of each operating rod 20 is adjustable.

Additionally, the transmission member 33 comprises a belt and an idler 38 for adjusting a tightness of the belt.

Furthermore, the driving wheel axis 34 and the passive wheel axis 35 are respectively installed on the base 11 and the supporting frame 14.

In addition, for each pedaling member 40, the pedal pole 41, the first connecting rod 42 and the second connecting rod 43 are connected among each other such that the first connecting rod 42 is configured to rotate at a middle section of the pedal pole 41.

As shown in FIG. 7, when it is actually used, the two pedals 411 are stepped on alternately, and the pivoting connector 44 is used as the pivot point to drive the driving wheel 31 through the first connecting rod 42 and the second connecting rod 43.

During the pedaling process of the pedals 411, the pedal pole 41 also drives the operating rod 20 pivoted at the pivoting joint 13 to perform a back-and-forth swing, which allows the hands holding the handle 21 to be pushed and pulled forward and backward by the operating rod 20 to fully extend the limbs.

Therefore, the exercise machine provides full-body exercise, so the fitness effect is very satisfying. By lifting the hands up and moving forward and backward, symptoms such as frozen shoulder and arthritis can also be prevented and improved. Moreover, the exercise machine of the present invention does not need too much space, and the structure is relatively simple not complicated, so it is very suitable for common families to purchase in order to exercise at any time.

Although the present invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of invention as hereinafter claimed.
