Abstract:
1. An exercise device, comprising: a frame; a pair of arm links pivotally coupled directly to the frame about a first axis; a pair of leg links pivotally coupled to the frame about a second axis, the first axis non-collinear with the second axis; a first countermovement mechanism pivotally coupled to the frame about a third axis and adapted to provide a user defined range of motion of a first arm link of the pair of arm links that is substantially opposite in direction to a first leg link of the pair of leg links; and a second countermovement mechanism pivotally coupled to the frame about the third axis and adapted to provide a user defined range of motion of a second arm link of the pair of arm links that is substantially opposite in direction to a second leg link of a pair of leg links, the second countermovement mechanism being independent from the first countermovement mechanism, whereby a user positioned on the device grasping the pair of arm links can move the arm links in the same direction flexing the body of the user to perform an abdominal exercise or in opposing directions with the feet of the user on the pair of leg links to perform a simulated walking gait exercise.
