1. An upper and lower body reciprocating arcing motion exercise machine with an adjustable angle user support frame comprising:
a) a stationary base frame having a forward end, a rearward end, and a central portion located between the forward end and the rearward end;
b) a user support frame having a forward end and a rearward end, with a rearward portion of the user support frame being slidably or rollably engaged with the rearward and central portion of the stationary base frame;
c) an angle adjustment linkage assembly pivotally mounted on a forward portion of the stationary base frame and pivotally connected to the forward portion of the user support frame for adjusting the angle of the user support frame relative to the stationary base frame and floor surface upon which the stationary base frame rests;
d) a left side lower body user support assembly comprising a foot pedal and a shin pad, the left side lower body support assembly being operatively connected to the user support frame for movement in a reciprocating arcing motion between the rearward portion of the user support frame and the central portion of the user support frame, and a right side lower body user support assembly comprising a foot pedal and a shin pad, the right side lower body support assembly being operatively connected to the user support frame for movement in a reciprocating arcing motion between the rearward portion of the user support frame and the central portion of the user support frame;
e) a left side upper body user support assembly comprising a gripping handle and a pivotable lever, the left side upper body user support assembly being operatively connected to the user support frame for movement in a reciprocating arcing motion between the forward portion of the user support frame and the central portion of the user support frame, and a right side upper body user support assembly comprising a gripping handle and a pivotable lever, the right side upper body user support assembly being operatively connected to the user support frame for movement in a reciprocating arcing motion between the forward portion of the user support frame and the central portion of the user support frame;
f) a left side user supports linkage assembly operatively connecting the left side upper body user support assembly to the left side lower body user support assembly at a left side connection hub, and a right side user supports linkage assembly operatively connecting the right side upper body user support assembly to the right side lower body user support assembly at a right side connection hub; and
g) a rocker arm pivotably mounted on the user support frame, wherein the left side connection hub and the right side connection hub are operatively connected to opposing ends of the rocker arm such that the motions of the left side upper body user support assembly and the left side lower body user support assembly are synchronized with the opposing motions of the right side upper body user support assembly and the right side lower body user support assembly.
