Abstract:
1. An exercise machine comprising: a track frame having a first elongated gliding rail and a second elongated gliding rail in parallel, the track frame including a higher end and a lower end; a support frame coupled to the higher end of the track frame to provide support from a floor supporting the exercise machine, the support frame causing the track frame to be inclined while the lower end of the track frame rests on the floor; a first mounting assembly and a second mounting assembly movably mounted on the first and second elongated gliding rails, respectively, wherein the first and second mounting assemblies are capable of gliding along the first and second elongated gliding rails up and down between the higher end and the lower end of the track frame a coupling control mechanism to allow configurations of the first and second mounting assemblies to move together and separately in opposite directions along the first and second elongated gliding rails; a first knee pad rotatably mounted on the first mounting assembly, wherein the first knee pad is capable of rotating relative to the first mounting assembly with respect to an axis that is perpendicular to an axis along the first elongated gliding rail while the first mounting assembly glides up and down along the first elongated gliding rail; and a second knee pad rotatably mounted on the second mounting assembly, wherein the second knee pad is capable of rotating relative to the second mounting assembly with respect to an axis that is perpendicular to an axis along the second elongated gliding rail while the second mounting assembly glides up and down along the second elongated gliding rail.
