ABSTRACT:
An exerciser with combined stepping and twisting functions is provided. The exerciser includes a base, a tubular sleeve and a stepper. The base has an upright cylindrical body fixed thereto. The cylindrical body is provided with a pair of radially extending and diametrically opposite branches. The tubular sleeve is sleeved rotatably on the cylindrical body and is formed with a circumferentially extending opening to permit passage of the branches on the cylindrical body therethrough. The stepper includes a pair of spaced pedal arms, each of which has a front end pivoted to said tubular sleeve, and a rear end. Each of a pair of resistance cylinders interconnects the rear end of one of the pedal arms and the tubular sleeve. A pair of transmitting members are provided respectively on the front ends of the pedal arms. Each of the transmitting members engages a respective one of the branches on the cylindrical body. When pressure is applied on one of the pedal arms, the pedal arm causes the tubular sleeve to rotate about the cylindrical body, thereby resulting in the combined stepping and twisting functions.
