An exercise device includes a pair of elongated reciprocating members. The reciprocating members are supported for rotational motion about a pivot axis and the forward ends of the reciprocating members reciprocate back and forth linearly along a motion restrictor forcing near linear motion. The combination of these two motions by the reciprocating members permit a user's feet to travel along conical orelliption motion path of travel. Resistance to rotation of a cranking means is provided and may be selectively altered by the user. At lower inclinations/elevations of the restrictor, the stepping motion may resemble cross-country skiing. At progressively higher angles of inclination or elevations of the restrictor, the stepping motions may simulate walking, jogging, running, climbing.
