This invention is a stationary exercising device which promotes cardiovascular exercise, yet minimizes impact to critical joints, particularly the ankles and knees. A frame (12) supports a linkage assembly having at least one linkage member (32) with a cam surface. The linkage assembly is in turn connected to a coupling assembly (24) attached to the frame. Structure is included which permits each foot of the user to move the linkage assembly in such a manner as to generate a preferred closed path movement (102) for the feet, and a preferred arcuate path for the hands minimizing unnecessary stress in the joints, yet permitting a cardiovascular workout of both lower and upper body muscle groups.
