ABSTRACT:
A foot pedal for a stepping exercise machine for stimulating the climbing and descending of a sloped surface such as when climbing or descending a mountain slope. The foot pedal includes a plate having first and second surfaces, proximal and distal end edges and a pair of side edges extending between the proximal and distal end edges of the plate. The proximal end edge of the plate is designed for pivotally mounting to a free end of a pivoting lever arm of a stepping exercise machine. The plate is pivotable with respect to the pivoting lever arm between a raised position and a lowered position. The distal end of the plate extends in an upwards direction from the pivoting lever arm when the plate is pivoted to the raised position. The distal end of the plate extends in a downwards direction from the pivoting lever arm when the plate is pivoted to the raised position.
