Abstract
An exercise machine includes a treadmill body and an upper limb weight training mechanism. The upper limb weight training mechanism includes a guide rail, a slider, and a weight unit. The guide rail is fixedly connected to the treadmill body. The slider is connected to the guide rail and is movable upwards and downwards on the guide rail. The slider is provided with a handle. The weight unit is disposed on the slider. The upper limb weight training mechanism can be pulled straight up and down to train upper limb muscles of a user while lower limb muscles of the lower limbs of the user are trained.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
(7) Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
(8) Referring to FIG. 1, an exercise machine in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention comprises a treadmill body (1) and an upper limb weight training mechanism (2) disposed on the treadmill body (1). The treadmill body (1) has a training area (11) on which a simulated motion direction (12) is defined. In this embodiment, the treadmill body (1) has a training area (11) that is a running area of the treadmill. The simulated motion direction (12) is opposite to the running direction of the treadmill belt of the treadmill. Two opposite sides of the training area (11) are provided with the upper limb weight training mechanisms. The treadmill body (1) is integrated with the upper limb weight training mechanism (2), thereby solving the problem that different training machines occupy much space.
(9) Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the upper limb weight training mechanism (2) includes a guide rail (21), a slider (22), and a weight unit. The guide rail (21) is fixedly connected to the treadmill body (1). The guide rail (21) is vertically arranged in the height direction of the treadmill body (1). The slider (22) is connected to the guide rail (21) and moved back and forth on the guide rail (21). The slider (22) is provided with a handle (23). The handle (23) has a grip (231). The grip (231) is parallel to the simulated motion direction (12). The weight unit is disposed on the slider (22). In this embodiment, the weight unit is adjustable so that the weight of the weight unit can be adjusted. The specific structure of the weight unit includes a fixing rod (24) fixed to the slider (22) and a plurality of weight plates (25) to be selectively hung on the fixing rod (24). The fixing rod (24) is inclined upward by an angle so that the weight plates (25) will not fall after being mounted on the fixing rod (24).
(10) Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, when in use, the trainee first selects an appropriate weight plate (25), and then the weight plate (25) is hung on the fixing rod (24). When the trainee enters the training area (11) of the treadmill body (1) for leg training, he/she holds the grips (231) of the upper limb weight training mechanisms (2) on both sides of the treadmill body (1) with both hands and pulls the grips (231) upward, so that the handle (23) can drive the slider (22) to be lifted along the guide rail (21) while pulling the weight plate (25) up. In the lifting process, the weight of the weight plate (25) can achieve the effect of training the muscles of the upper limbs. Besides, in the training process, the user maintains the action of lifting the weight plate (25) and continues to run/walk in the training area (11) of the treadmill body (1). With the weight of the weight plate (25) that is lifted by the upper limbs to increase the load of the lower limbs, the training strength of the lower limbs is increased greatly. The extension direction of the grip (231) is parallel to the simulated motion direction (12) of the treadmill body (1) (referring to the simulated motion direction (12) in FIG. 3), so that the grip (231) can be held easily. In this way, the lower limb muscles and the upper limb muscles can be trained simultaneously so as to save the training time. The weight training in a straight pull manner conforms to habit that the user exerts a force.
(11) As shown in FIG. 4, when the user uses the treadmill body (1), the user's both hands continue to lift the upper limb weight training mechanisms (2), which can effectively increase the load of the lower limbs to increase the training strength of the lower limbs.
(12) As shown in FIG. 5, when the user uses the treadmill body (1), both hands of the user continue to lift the upper limb weight training mechanisms (2). In addition to effectively increase the load of the lower limbs to increase the training strength of the lower limbs, the hands are lifted and lowered continuously to train the muscles of the upper limbs. The upper limb weight training mechanisms (2) can be lifted “by turns” with both hands, or the upper limb weight training mechanisms (2) can be lifted or lowered “synchronously” with both hands to achieve the same training effect.
(13) Referring to FIG. 6, when the muscles of the trainee's arm can withstand a greater load, or other trainees able to withstand a great load, the number of weight plates (25) on the fixing rod (24) can be increased to perform greater weight training.
(14) Although particular embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
