ABSTRACT:
In a simulated stairclimbing apparatus having a pair of pedal members rotatably attached at one end to the frame of the apparatus and having a foot pedal rotatably attached to the other end of each pedal member, a pulley is attached to each pedal and another pair of pulleys is attached to the frame where flexible members such as cables are engaged with the pedal and frame pulleys for each pedal member so as to keep the pedals level through the vertical motion of the pedals. In another arrangement, a pair of flexible members are rotatably attached to each pedal and to the frame where the pedal member is located between each of the two flexible members so as to keep the pedals level through the vertical motion of the pedals.
