<p>This invention is a mobile exercising apparatus which promotes cardiovascular exercise yet minimizes impact to critical joints. A frame supports of pair of reciprocating members (40) which are displaced generally horizontally (100) along the frame at one end, yet reciprocate in a circular motion (102) at the other through a coupling system attached to the frame. Structure is included which orients the foot of the user at a preferred acute angular orientation and permits each foot to move in a generally elliptical path (102) during exercise, and drive a wheel (56) whereby propelling the apparatus. This allows simulation of walking or running without impact. The device may include linkage to facilitate a corresponding upper body exercise involving movement of the arm in which case each hand of the user is displaced along an arcuate path.</p> |
