The present invention is an exercise treadmill with included weighted plates. The treadmill is essentially a manual treadmill in which the user pushes or pulls on the treadmill to activate it. To operate it, one pushes against a stationary and adjustable hand rail or platform or pulls on a bar or body harness connected to a cable. The walking surface is a belt track similar to conventional treadmills but wider and longer. In such a manner, the user is provided with a system to transfer force from arms or torso (by pushing or pulling) to the feet, to the belt track, to the spindle and shaft, and thereon to the weights and rollers.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved treadmill design.
It is a main feature of the present invention to provide such a treadmill that will provide the simulation of both a rolling resistance and a moving mass inertia, simultaneously.
It is another feature of the present invention to provide an improved workout for overall body and leg strength.
It is another feature of the present invention to provide an improved workout for increased cardiovascular endurance.
It is yet another feature of the present invention to be easy to use and require no specialized training.
It is still yet another feature of the present invention to simulate the pushing and pulling of a varied rolling resistance.
It is another feature of the present invention to provide for overall body/leg strength and cardiovascular endurance without the present, better, and optimal body posture.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment, a Variable Resistance Treadmill 5 for simultaneously simulating a rolling and sliding resistance, and a moving inertia is provided comprised of a textured tread, frame, two spindles, friction resistance system, push rail, a pull rail, a push board/push surface and conventional Olympic weight training plates or other fixed mass.
The Variable Resistance Treadmill 5 will include electronic feedback to monitor the performance of the moving tread as well as electronic variation of the friction resistance.
