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 1):
A stationary exercise machine comprising:\n a stationary frame; first and second foot pedals coupled to the frame; a crank shaft rotatably mounted to the stationary frame to rotate about a crank axis, the first and second foot pedals operatively associated with the crank shaft such that motion of the first and second foot pedals causes rotation of the crank shaft around the crank axis; a handle pivotally coupled to the frame to pivot about a first axis and configured to be driven by a user's hand, the first axis being substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the crank axis at a fixed distance; a first link member fixed relative to the handle and pivotable about the first axis and including a radial end that is distal from the first axis; a second link member including a first end pivotally coupled to the radial end of the first link member and a second end comprising an annular collar, the second link member pivotable about a second link member pivot axis that is substantially parallel to the crank axis, the second link member pivot axis rotatable around the crank axis; and a disk rotatably mounted within the annular collar of the second link member, the disk rotatable about the crank axis.
