1. An exercise device comprising a frame, two slide members each constrained to slide along the frame, a resistance element yieldingly opposing sliding motion of each one of the two slide members along the frame independently of sliding motion of the other said slide member, and a hand grip at one end of the frame and coupled to the frame, the hand grip configured and dimensioned to enable a user to grasp the hand grip with two hands while engaging each said slide member with one foot on each one of the slide members, whereby pushing with one leg and an associated foot on each said slide member urges that slide member away from the hand grip against resistance of the resistance element;
wherein:
the frame comprises a member having opposed flat, parallel faces along an entire length of the frame, and two tracks configured and dimensioned to respectively and laterally surround each one of the slide members, wherein each of the two tracks is respectively coupled to the frame on one of the flat, parallel faces of the member of the frame;
the exercise device further comprising for each track, a first stop limiting travel of one said slide member along the track at one end of the track, and a second stop limiting travel of the other said slide member along the other track at an opposed end of the track; and
the frame further comprises a structural cross member coupled to the frame and spanning a width of the frame, and the hand grip comprises a bar parallel to the frame, spaced apart from the frame on the opposed flat, parallel faces of the frame along which the slide members are constrained to slide, and coupled to the structural cross member.
