Patent ID: 7811205

Claim:
A stationary elliptical exercise device for a single user comprising: a) at least two separate inertial masses providing inertial resistance to rotational movement wherein the inertial masses each comprises a plurality of attachable and removeable weights radially disposed about a point of rotation of the inertial mass; b) two separate foot tread members, each foot tread member being operable independently of the other foot tread member, and each foot tread member being attached to one of said separate inertial masses to provide separate inertial resistance to each foot tread member as each foot tread member is propelled independently of the other foot tread member; and (c) first and second support members, each having a housing, a leg support, and a direction member wherein the leg support traverses said housing, a free end of said leg support is pivotally affixed to a rigid connector, and a second free end of said leg is connected to said direction member such that said first and second support members are rotatable inwardly or outwardly relative to the foot tread members.
