ABSTRACT:
An exercise apparatus is provided having a frame for supporting a user mounted on the apparatus above a support surface such as a floor. A pair of leg members and associated foot supports depend from and rotatably associate with a pair of journals connected to the frame. A user stands on the foot supports and moves his legs in a striding-type reciprocating motion. A pair of handle members may also be associated with the journals to rotate simultaneously with their respective leg members. A reciprocation mechanism may force opposite rotation of the pair of leg members with respect to each other. Various resistance mechanisms may be adapted to the apparatus to offer resistance to the striding-type motion.
