Abstract:
An exercise apparatus for pushing along the ground by a user comprising:a frame having handle bars at an upper end for gripping by the user in order to push the apparatus along the ground and a wheel supporting portion at a lower end; a single ground contactable wheel rotatably mounted on the wheel supporting portion and able to contact the ground for rotation along the ground by a user pushing the apparatus; a pivot arm pivotally attached to the frame near the single ground contactable wheel and having a first end and a second end, the first end extending near the single ground contactable wheel and the second end extending away from the single ground contactable wheel; a resistance wheel rotatably attached to the first end for contact with the single ground contactable wheel; and an adjustment mechanism attached to the second end such that the adjustment mechanism can move the second end up or down to cause the first end to move up or down respectively and thereby cause the resistance wheel to come into contact with the single ground contactable wheel with greater or lesser force to cause more or less resistance to rotation of the single ground contactable wheel.
