ABSTRACT:
A treadmill including an adjustable spring structure for providing resiliency or a cushioning effect to a user. The adjustable spring structure includes a longitudinally extending leaf spring secured at one end to a crossmember extending between the side rails of the treadmill frame, the free end of the leaf spring having secured thereto a downwardly extending foot. The flex of the leaf spring, and thus the resiliency or cushioning afforded the user, are adjustable via longitudinal movement of a laterally extending adjustment bar disposed between the leaf spring and the frame.
