The exercise device further includes an upper body exercise assembly operably associated with the exercise device. The first treadle assembly is pivotally coupled with the frame structure, and the second treadle assembly is pivotally coupled with the frame structure. In another form, an exercise device includes a frame structure, a first treadle assembly having a first endless belt in rotatable engagement with a first roller, a second treadle assembly having a second endless belt in rotatable engagement with a second roller, and a flywheel operably coupled with the first endless belt and the second endless belt.
a frame structure; a first treadle assembly supporting a first moving surface, the first treadle assembly pivotally coupled with the frame structure; a second treadle assembly supporting a second moving surface, the second treadle assembly pivotally coupled with the frame structure; and an upper body exercise assembly operably associated with the exercise device, the upper body exercise assembly including a first handle structure coupled with the first treadle assembly and a second handle structure coupled with the second treadle assembly. 2. The exercise device of claim 1 wherein:
the first moving surface comprises a tread belt operably supported on the first treadle assembly; and the second moving surface comprises a second tread belt operably supported on the second treadle assembly. 3. The exercise device of claim 1 wherein:
the first handle structure is fixed to the first treadle assembly; and the second handle structure is fixed to the second treadle assembly. 4. The exercise device of claim 1 further comprising:
a handle assembly fixed to the frame structure; and the upper body exercise assembly comprises:
a frame structure; a first treadle assembly supporting a first moving surface, the first treadle assembly pivotally coupled with the frame structure; a second treadle assembly supporting a second moving surface, the second treadle assembly pivotally coupled with the frame structure; and an upper body exercise assembly operably associated with the exercise device, the upper body exercise assembly including at least one flexible resilient resistance member coupled with the frame structure and a cable releasably connected with the resistance member, the cable supported by at least one pulley supported on the exercise device, and the cable including a handle. 6. The exercise device of claim 5 wherein the at least one flexible resilient resistance member is coupled with the frame structure in a generally horizontal arrangement to the side of at least one of the treadle assemblies.
a frame structure; a first treadle assembly supporting a first moving surface, the first treadle assembly pivotally coupled with the frame structure; a second treadle assembly supporting a second moving surface, the second treadle assembly pivotally coupled with the frame structure; and an upper body exercise assembly operably associated with the exercise device, the upper body exercise assembly including at least one flexible resilient resistance member coupled with the frame structure and a cable releasably connected with the resistance member, the cable supported by at least one pulley supported on the exercise device, and the cable being coupled with at least one of the treadle assemblies. 10. The exercise device of claim 9 wherein:
the at least one flexible resilient resistance member is coupled with the frame structure in a generally vertical orientation in front of at least one of the treadle assemblies; and the at least one pulley comprises at least a first pulley supported on the frame structure forward the at least one flexible resilient resistance member, and at least a second pulley supported on the frame structure rearward the at least one flexible resilient resistance member and above the front of at least one of the treadle assemblies. 11. The exercise device of claim 1 wherein the upper body exercise assembly comprises:
at least one cable coupled at one end to at least one of the treadle assemblies, the cable routed through at least one pulley supported on an upright extending upwardly from the frame structure in front of the treadle assemblies, the cable connecting one of the first and second handle structures to the at least one of the treadle assemblies. 12. The exercise device of claim 1 wherein the first handle structure is pivotally coupled with the first treadle assembly and a resistance member is coupled between the first handle structure and the first treadle assembly.
a first L-shaped handle pivotally supported on the frame below the first treadle assembly, with a section of the first L-shaped handle extending upwardly in front of the first treadle assembly; and a wheel rotatably supported on the handle, the wheel adapted to engage a bottom of the first treadle assembly. 17. The exercise device of claim 1 wherein movement of the first handle structure is responsive to movement of the first treadle assembly and movement of the second handle structure is responsive to movement of the second treadle assembly.
