ABSTRACT:
Exercising apparatus of a type generally simulating a walking or crawling motion. The apparatus has a vertical support mast, right hand and left hand operated levers journaled to the mast, and left and right foot treadles journaled to the mast. The right hand operated lever is connected to the right foot treadle by one connecting rod, and the left hand operated lever is connected to the left foot treadle by a second connecting rod. The connecting rods cause their corresponding hand and foot to approach one another then diverge in repeating cycles. A link rod connects the right foot treadle to the left hand operated lever. Right and left treadles and levers therefore undergo similar motions, but are offset from one another by half a cycle. For example, the right hand and foot converge while the left hand and foot diverge.
