Abstract

A compact exercise device (10) includes a pair of coupler arms (16) pivotably supported on a frame for rotation about a pivot axis (14). Each coupler arm engages a respective intermediate link (18a, 18b) at its first end. A second end of each intermediate link travels on a guide (24a, 24b) so that as the coupler arms rotate, the first end of each intermediate link traces an arcuate path, and the second end of each intermediate link traces a reciprocating path. The device includes a pair of foot links (26a, 26b), each foot link is coupled, through a first end thereof, to a respective one of said intermediate links at a point between the first and second ends thereof a second end of each foot link engages another guide (30a, 30b) which directs it along a preselected path of travel, as the intermediate link is moved by the coupler arm. The device provides a range of foot and leg motion simulating a natural running and stepping action.
