ABSTRACT:
A standup cross trainer exercise apparatus simulates walking and jogging having separately supported pedals for the feet and arm exercise coordinated with the motion of the feet. Foot pedals move with a back and forth movement following an elongate curve path that has adjustable curve length during operation. The stride length of the foot pedals is adjustable to accommodate both long and short leg users. Foot pedals move with smooth elliptical motion resulting from a linkage mechanism having smooth orbital motion without the characteristic turnaround jerk associated with reciprocating member elliptical drives. Leg joint impact is controlled to be very low as to allow extended exercise without joint soreness. Arm exercise is coordinated with motion of the feet and adjusts with longer or shorter pedal strides to accommodate taller or shorter user.
