ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a standup exercise apparatus that simulates in-place jogging and climbing with arm exercise. More particularly, the present invention relates to an exercise machine having separately supported pedals for the feet and arm exercise coordinated with the independent motion of the feet. A linkage is provided for each foot pedal to guide the pedal with reciprocating motion wherein the toe of the foot moves faster than the heel of the foot. Resistance is provided to resist the downward movement of the pedals. Handle movement is coordinated with the pedal movement for total body crosstraining. The handles can be moved or rendered stationary to provide turnabout exercise. Low knee stress allows long duration exercise without hurting knees common with some crosstrainers.
