Patent ID: 8057363

Claim:
An exercise device comprising: a frame supporting a frame linkage assembly; left and right foot supports suspended on the frame linkage assembly in a cantilevered arrangement for pivoting movement of the foot supports and the frame linkage assembly along a back and forth arcuate path; the frame linkage assembly having a rear foot support linkage that is pivotally interconnected to a rotatable arm that is drivably rotated by the back and forth movement of the foot supports and frame linkage assembly, the movement of the foot supports on the arcuate path from a rearwardmost and downwardmost position to a forwardmost and upwardmost position back to the rearwardmost and downwardmost position defining a complete cycle; and, an incline selector interconnected to the cantilevered foot supports, the incline selector being adjustable to effectively select one or more segments of the arcuate path upon which the foot supports will travel, each segment having a different rearwardmost and downwardmost position, and forwardmost and upwardmost position and thus a different degree of incline such that a complete cycle of the foot supports on the arcuate path can be effectively changed.
