The present invention relates to a standup exercise apparatus that simulates walking, jogging and climbing with arm exercise. More particularly, the present invention relates to an exercise machine having separately supported pedals positioned close together for the feet and arm exercise coordinated with the motion of the feet.Cross trainers guide the feet along a generally elliptical shaped curve to simulate the motions of jogging and climbing. Existing machines often are large and consume excessive floor space. The present invention is an improved elliptical exercise machine having a full length stride yet requiring significantly less floor space than full size elliptical exercise machines found in Health Clubs. Further, the load resistance, crank and drive linkage are positioned below the pedals allowing a simple shroud which acts as a step. Pedals are as close together as desired. Handles are coupled to the foot support member with connector links for coordinated arm exercise.
