Claim:
An exercise device, comprising: a) a base including an upright support extended upwardly from said base, said upright support including a front portion and a rear portion; b) a spindle disposed on said front portion of said upright support; c) two cranks rotatably coupled to said rear portion of said upright support with a shaft which is spaced away from said spindle, and said spindle is located in front of said shaft and said cranks, said cranks each including a pivot rod attached to said crank and spaced away from said shaft; d) a wheel rotatably attached to said rear portion of said upright support with said shaft; e) a rotary member rotatably attached to said upright support with an axle and coupled to said wheel; f) a follower attached to said axle and coupled to said wheel; g) a flywheel rotatably attached to said upright support and coupled to said rotary member; h) two handles including a middle portion attached to said spindle so as to allow said handles to be pivotally coupled to said front portion of said upright support with said spindle and so as to allow said handles to be pivoted and swung relative to said upright support of said base, said handles each including a hand grip provided on an upper portion for being grasped or held by a user and each including a lower portion, and said handles each including a first orifice and at least one second orifice formed in said middle portion of said handle; i) two foot supports each including a front portion pivotally coupled to said lower portion of said handles, and each including a foot pedal disposed on a rear portion for supporting said user's feet, and each including a middle portion directly pivotally coupled to said pivot rod of said cranks with a link so as to allow said middle portions of said foot supports to be moved cyclically relative to said upright support by said cranks; and j) two levers each including a first end pivotally coupled to said pivot rod of said crank, and each including a second end coupled to said middle portion of said handle with a securing device which is spaced away from said spindle so as to selectively engage with either said first orifice or said at least one second orifice of said handles and so as to form a changeable polygonal coupling structure together with said handles and said foot supports and said links, and so as to allow said foot pedals of said foot supports to be moved with changeable and elliptical moving stroke relative to said upright support of said base.
