MULTIFUNCTIONAL ELLIPTICAL TRAINER

摘要

A multifunctional elliptical trainer equipped with steps that have an increased size transverse to the motion trajectory thereof, allowing the foot of the user to be positioned perpendicular to the motion trajectory of said steps, wherein the steps can have an increased length allowing the user to take a wide stance for side-step movement, or normal size steps which can be rotated and repositioned to achieve the same result. In addition to imitating forward walking, the invention allows the user to do the following exercises: Lunges, side steps and crossover side steps, thus training the inner and outer leg muscles.

主权项

1. A multifunctional elliptical exercise device, comprising: movable steps kinematically connected with a crank gear, moving along a closed curve, approximating to ellipse, with dimensions that enable a user to put its feet parallel to a movement trajectory, wherein the steps have increased size in a direction perpendicular to the movement trajectory that allow the user to put the feet across the movement trajectory to perform “walking sideways” exercises.
