ABSTRACT:
An exerciser with combined walking and stepping functions includes a base frame with an upright portion. A movable support is fulcrumed at the upright portion and has two ends alternately turnable upward and downward. Two pairs of front swing rods are connected pivotally to the ends of the movable support. The rear swing rods are connected pivotally to the upright portion. A pair of pedal rods are connected pivotally to the bottom ends of the front and rear swing rods. A first locking device is mounted on the upright portion to lock the movable support against movement relative to the upright portion so as to place the pedal rods in a walking exercise configuration in which the pedal rods are movable forward and rearward. The first locking device releases the movable support when the pedal rods are in a stepping exercise configuration in which the pedal rods are turnable upward and downward relative to the bottom ends of the rear swing rods. A second locking device is mounted on the base frame to lock the bottom ends of the rear swing rods against movement relative to the base frame so as to place the pedal rods in the stepping exercise configuration. The second locking device releases the rear swing rods when the pedal rods are in the walking exercise configuration.
