ABSTRACT:
An exercise apparatus links rotation of a crank to generally elliptical motion of a foot supporting member. In particular, both a foot supporting linkage and a drawbar linkage are movably connected between a rocker link and the crank in such a manner that the foot supporting member is constrained to move through an elliptical path of motion. The configuration of the elliptical path may be selectively altered by adjusting the drawbar linkage relative to the rocker link.
