ABSTRACT:
A treadmill type exercise machine having an endless belt for simulating walking up a hill is provided. The exercise machine uses low impact walking motion, which is a favored exercise method while combining the extra effort of climbing without using the same muscle groups as a stair climbing exercise device. The treadmill is an improvement over level treadmills and inclined treadmills. The treadmill uses a cycle of 5 stages to accomplish the exercise. In the first stage the treadmill endless belt is flat, in the second stage the endless belt is moved into an inclined position, in the third stage the endless belt is raised while inclined to provide for simulated hill climbing while a person is walking on the endless belt. In the fourth stage the endless belt is leveled at a raised height. In the fifth stage the endless belt is lowered to the initial position.
