Abstract:
1. A stationary exercise machine comprising: a frame; a shaft supported by the frame; a first disk operatively coupled to a first upper reciprocating member, and a second disk operatively coupled to a second upper reciprocating member, each of the first and second disks mounted eccentrically on the shaft; a first handle operatively associated with the first upper reciprocating member and the frame; a second handle operatively associated with the second upper reciprocating member and the frame; a first lower reciprocating member and a second lower reciprocating member, each of the first and second lower reciprocating members including a first end portion and a second end portion distal from the first end portion; the first lower reciprocating member operatively associated with the shaft in such a manner that the first end portion of the first lower reciprocating member orbits the shaft as the shaft rotates, and the second lower reciprocating member operatively associated with the shaft in such a manner that the first end portion of the second lower reciprocating member orbits the shaft as the shaft rotates; a first foot pedal joined to the first lower reciprocating member proximate the second end portion of the first lower reciprocating member, a second foot pedal joined to the second lower reciprocating member proximate the second end portion of the second lower reciprocating member; and the first and second foot pedals each move in a respective closed loop path as the first end portions of the first and second lower reciprocating members orbit the shaft.
