Abstract:
1. An exercise apparatus, comprising; a frame; a treadle assembly operably coupled to the frame to travel in a first direction and a second direction that is opposite the first direction; a resistance device resistively coupling the treadle assembly to the frame and including a piston rod that extends and retracts as the treadle travels in the first direction and the second direction; and a travel-limiting device configured to limit movement of the treadle assembly, the travel-limiting device comprising an element movably associated with the piston rod to limit the retracting of the piston rod; wherein the resistance device includes a resistive cylinder that the piston rod extends from and retracts into and the travel-limiting device is movably attachable to or detachable from the piston rod to limit the retracting of the piston rod into the resistive cylinder.
