Patent ID: 8128535

Claim:
An exercise device comprising: a foot support suspended from above on a frame by a back and forth pivotable frame linkage that orients the foot support in a disposition that supports a user in an upright position on the foot support, the foot support being movable on the frame back and forth through a selectable one of a plurality of complete and reproducible segments of an arcuate path having a degree of incline, said segments being defined by the device such that foot support movement from a rearwardmost downward position to a forwardmost upward position back to the rearwardmost downward position on the arcuate path defines a complete cycle, the foot support being interconnected to an adjustment device that effectively requires the foot support to travel through a complete cycle of a selected one of the plurality of arc segments, each segment having a different rearwardmost downward position and a different forwardmost upward position and thus a different degree of incline such that a complete cycle of the foot support on the arcuate path can be effectively changed.
