21. An exercise treadmill for simulating a dragging or pulling action, comprising:
-
a) an endless moveable surface looped around rollers or pulleys to form an upper run and a lower run, with an exercise surface for walking or running on while operating the treadmill; b) a moment arm weight resistance means for simulating the dragging or pulling of a load, the moment arm weight resistance means being variable for providing varying weight resistance and comprising a moment arm, an adjustable weight, and a means for adjusting the adjustable weight relative to the moment arm; c) a resistance arm operatively connected to the moment arm weight resistance means and pivotable between a first at rest position and a second fully extended position and can be maintained at any position between the first at rest position and the second fully extended position; and d) a pivot point, wherein at least a portion of the moment arm weight resistance means is pivotable about the pivot point, wherein pulling the resistance arm actuates the moment arm weight resistance means. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
