An exercise apparatus includes a frame, a resistance lever pivotably attached to the frame, a resistance engagement member moveably attached to the resistance lever, the resistance engagement member being positionable at a plurality of attachment points on the resistance lever, and a resistance element disposed adjacent to the resistance engagement member. The automatic transmission has multiple shift elements for transmitting torque andor power. A third switch connecting the second power source to the starter may be used to selectively provide power thereto and bypass the first power source to start the engine.
