CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED U.S. APPLICATIONS [0001] The present application is a continuation-in-part application claiming priority from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/656963, filed on Sep. 8, 2003, and entitled "EXERCISE MACHINE COMPRISING TWO HAND GRIPS WHICH ARE PROVIDED WITH A DAMPING DEVICE", presently pending. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not applicable. NAMES OF PARTIES TO A JOINT RESEARCH AGREEMENT [0003] Not applicable. REFERENCE TO AN APPENDIX SUBMITTED ON COMPACT DISC [0004] Not applicable. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0005] 1. Field of the Invention [0006] The present invention relates generally to a swaying damping device for the handle bar of fitness equipment, and more particularly to a unique device adapted to a preset location of the fitness equipment and to a handle bar permitting independent swaying thereof consistent with the users. The swaying damping device also provides a preset resistance to the swaying handle bar, thus enabling the device to sway flexibly and independently with improved convenience. [0007] 2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 37 CFR 1.98 [0008] The handle bar of fitness equipment is generally divided into two types: a fixed handle bar (e.g. a frame handle bar of a treadmill); and a swaying handle bar (e.g. a coupled handle bar of an oval track stepper). [0009] Since the balance of exercise is closely related to manual swaying, the handle bar has disadvantages in the actual operation. First, the fixed handle bar of a treadmill can only offer preventive protection for the users in a static state, but without any help in a dynamic state. [0010] Also, the coupled swaying handle bar of oval track stepper can provide dynamic support to the users for a desirable balance. However, the physical balance is often adjusted to maintain a dynamic balance. As the swaying handle bar is coupled to a stepper, the swaying magnitude, starting/end point and swaying time cannot be adjusted at any time, making it difficult to maintain a dynamic balance. Moreover, the users are very restricted on the fitness equipment because of poor ergonomics. [0011] Thus, to overcome the aforementioned problems of the prior art, it would be an advancement in the art to provide an improved structure that can significantly improve efficacy. [0012] To this end, the inventor has provided the present invention of practicability after deliberate design and evaluation based on years of experience in the production, development and design of related products. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0013] The handle bar 11 can sway independently of the users and provide a dynamic balance for the users. [0014] The swaying handle bar 11 can provide a preset resistance to the swaying damping device 20, thus ensuring a damping effect and springing force. [0015] The swaying magnitude, starting and end point, and swaying time of handle bar 11 can be adjusted at any time, making it possible to freely adjust the swaying magnitude and mode and to maintain a dynamic balance for the users. [0016] The handle bar 11, independent of the fitness equipment 10, operates in line with the users, thus improving flexibility, independency and convenience. [0017] The handle bar can be placed individually or oppositely onto the fitness equipment 10 depending upon the operating requirements. [0018] The pneumatic damping rod 24 with two-way damping action is a swaying damping device 20, which can be mounted onto seat frame 12 and handle bar 11 of fitness equipment 10. The damping rod 24 provides resistance and springing force to the handle bar 11, and also reduces the number of pneumatic damping rod 24 required.
