ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses an exercise apparatus for simulating a variety of perambulatory movements such as walking, stair climbing, jogging, skiing, and jumping. In one embodiment, oscillators in the nature of leaf springs are pivotally suspended side-by-side from a frame for oscillatory movement after the manner of step paths. The feet of a user are positioned in foot supports mounted on the springs. To exercise, the user exerts forces on the springs to simulate perambulatory movements, flexing and oscillating the springs in a desired manner according to the degree of exertion appropriate for the user.
