Abstract:
Described herein are embodiments of stationary exercise machines having reciprocating foot and/or hand members, such as foot pedals that move in a closed loop path. Some embodiments can include reciprocating foot pedals that cause a user's feet to move along a closed loop path that is substantially inclined, such that the foot motion simulates a climbing motion more than a flat walking or running motion. Some embodiments can further include reciprocating handles that are configured to move in coordination with the foot via a linkage to a crank wheel also coupled to the foot pedals. Variable resistance can be provided via a rotating air-resistance based mechanism, via a magnetism based mechanism, and/or via other mechanisms, one or more of which can be rapidly adjustable while the user is using the machine.

Claim (Index 18):
The stationary exercise machine as defined in  claim 1 , further comprising first and second reciprocating foot members pivotally coupled to first and second crank arms, respectively, wherein the first and second crank arms are fixed relative to the crank shaft and rotatable about the crank axis, and rearward ends of the first and second reciprocating foot members are coupled to the first and second foot pedals, respectively.
