  The present invention relates to a twisting machine for whole body exercise, and more particularly, to a twisting machine for whole body exercise that can exercise each part of a user's body evenly.

  BACKGROUND ART A growing awareness of the importance of health has led to the development of various exercise equipments for the purpose of promoting health, managing obesity, maintaining body shape, and the like. In particular, recently, various indoor exercise equipments configured to be able to exercise even in a relatively small place such as indoors have been developed.

  Examples of indoor exercise equipment include running machines, health bicycles, cyclones, step machines, bench presses, crucian exercise machines, and the like. Such exercise equipment enables the strengthening of the cardiopulmonary organs and the exercise of various parts such as the hips, arms, legs, and chest.

  However, such an indoor exercise apparatus has the advantage of being able to exercise without being restricted by time and place, but is configured to exercise only a specific part of the user's body intensively. The following problems have arisen.

  As a first problem, there is a case where a user's body is damaged or disturbed due to excessive exercise for a specific part. For example, a general running machine can enhance the cardiopulmonary function when used by a healthy person, but when the elderly or obese person uses it continuously, the joints such as knees and ankles of the user can be used. Side effects of damaging the device.

  The second problem is that the exercise effect is lower than that of whole-body exercise because the exercise always starts at a specific site. Further, there are cases where the exercise effect desired by the user cannot be provided. For example, general health bicycles and bench presses allow anaerobic exercises that strengthen muscles. On the other hand, these exercise devices do not provide aerobic exercise. Therefore, it is not an effective exercise device for a user who needs aerobic exercise to reduce body fat (for example, an obese person). However, at present, general users do not have a correct understanding of the characteristic exercise effects of individual exercise equipment.

  In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a twisting machine for whole body exercise that can exercise each part of the body evenly and comprehensively.

  Further, another object of the present invention is to provide a twisting machine for whole body exercise that can reduce the side effects due to excessive exercise and exercise the whole body efficiently.
