ABSTRACT:
A folding treadmill exercise device includes a frame adapted to extend in a substantially vertical direction during operation of the device and a substantially planar bed having a plurality of rollers and an endless belt disposed about the rollers. The bed is slidably and pivotally connected to the frame proximate a first end of the bed, wherein the bed is adapted to selectively slide along the frame and simultaneously pivot relative to the frame between a substantially horizontal operative position and a substantially vertical storage position. A lift assist mechanism adapted to urge the bed towards an upper end of the frame is provided to facilitate movement of the bed between its operative and storage positions. The bed may also be adjustably connected to the frame wherein height of the first end of the bed is selectively adjustable relative to height of a second end of the bed when the bed is in the substantially horizontal operative position.
