Claim:
1. An apparatus for human exercise comprising: a first foot pad attached to a first guided carrier member, and a second foot pad attached to a second guided carrier member; a horizontal guide rail coupled to the first and second guided carrier members, the horizontal guide rail preventing motion of the first and second guided carrier members except for linear translation along a longitudinal axis of the horizontal guide rail; a first elastic member anchored to and extending from the horizontal guide rail to an attachment to the first guided carrier member, the first elastic member applying a first elastic force to the first guided carrier member along the longitudinal axis of the horizontal guide rail; a second elastic member anchored to and extending from the horizontal guide rail to an attachment to the second guided carrier member, the second elastic member applying a second elastic force to the second guided carrier member along the longitudinal axis of the horizontal guide rail and in an opposite direction relative to the first elastic force; a third elastic member attached to and extending from the first guided carrier member to an attachment to the second guided carrier member, the third elastic member applying a third elastic force oppositely to both the first and second guided carrier members; a transverse frame member fixed to the horizontal guide rail, the transverse frame member being oriented horizontally and transverse to the longitudinal axis of the horizontal guide rail; and a first vertical frame member extending vertically from the transverse frame member on a first side of the horizontal guide rail, the first vertical frame member including a first raised hand rail.
