1. An exercise apparatus comprising:

  • a main frame;

    a pedaling unit enabling a user to perform stand up pedaling action, said pedaling unit including a main shaft rotatably connected to a middle section of the main frame, said main shaft having two ends, and two crank arms, each of the two crank arms having a rear end fixed at respective end of the two ends of said main shaft, and two pedals, each of the two pedals pivotally connected to a front end of respective one of said two crank arms;

    an upstanding support, a middle section of said upstanding support pivotally connected to said main shaft of the pedaling unit, said upstanding support changing an orientation of the user in relation to a vertical line during a workout;

    a crank-slider mechanism positioned at a top end of said upstanding support enabling the user to move the hands up and down linearly;

    a tilt mechanism tilting said upstanding support and changing said orientation of said user in relation to the vertical line, said tilt mechanism comprising a tilt mechanism crank arm having a rear end rotatably connected to a front end of the main frame, said tilt mechanism crank arm has a front end operatively associated with the upstanding support such that rotating of the tilt mechanism crank arm causes an oscillating motion of the upstanding support;

    a power transmission system to transfer power produced by the user from said pedaling unit to said tilt mechanism, said power produced by the user enabling said tilt mechanism tilting said upstanding support;

    a synchronizer exchanging power produced by the user between said pedaling unit and said crank-slider mechanism, said synchronizer is configured to synchronize said pedaling unit with crank-slider mechanism and effecting harmonious motion between said feet and hands of said user;

    a gas spring comprising a front end pivotally connected to a bottom end of said upstanding support and having a rear end pivotally connected to a rear end of said main frame to balance forces affecting said upstanding support while changing said orientation of said user in relation to the vertical line;

    a controlling means including a computerized panel showing heart rate and burned calories of the user, a resistance wheel, and a friction pad/magnetic brake adjusting resistance force on the resistance wheel, wherein adjusting said resistance force determines the effort required of the user.
