ABSTRACT:
A mobile exercise apparatus is provided for sit down exercise operated in the recumbent position where foot operated pedals follow an oblong pedal path coordinated with arm exercise. The pedal path is configured to provide a long downward power stroke that remains generally tangent to the lower leg for greater leg exercise and torque conversion to the driven wheel. The pedals are guided by extended foot supports as part of a linkage system that is coupled to the arm exercise. Pedal motion and arm exercise can be adjusted during operation of the exercise apparatus to exercise different muscles.
