ABSTRACT:
A striding exerciser comprises a pair of pedals or platforms, each suspended from a frame by a linkage such that the pedals move back and forth through an arc to simulate a natural walking or striding motion. Preferably the linkage is a triangulated four bar linkage, which permits the pedals to move freely back and forth while providing substantial lateral rigidity to resist side-to-side motion. In one embodiment of the invention, a pair of handles are pivotally attached to the frame behind and to the side of a user standing on the platforms. Each of the handles is connected to the corresponding four bar linkage, such that motion of a platform is translated into motion of the corresponding handle. In another embodiment the triangulated four bar linkages share a common pivot shaft and are acted on by a common resistance mechanism such that equal resistance is applied to both platforms.
