ABSTRACT:
A foot pad for a stair climber type exerciser having a relatively soft cushioning pad overlying a rigid base member. The pad has a length of at least about one foot, a width of at least about four inches, and an undulating contoured surface extending from about one-quarter to at least about two-thirds of the way from the front to the rear of the pad. It also has an overall top surface convexity fore-and-aft enabling easier weight shift, from the user's heel to the ball of the foot as the attitude of the pedal changes during cyclical pivotal movement of the part of apparatus on which the foot pad is mounted. The cushioning pad disclosed is formed of molded polyvinylchloride with a hardness of about Durometer 70 Shore A.
