Abstract
Embodiments of an exercise machine are disclosed. In one embodiment, an exercise machine includes a base frame, a pair of left and right pedal assemblies, and a pedal supporting assembly. The base frame is adapted to be positioned on a support surface. The left and right pedal assemblies have a pair of left and right pedals, and each is positioned over and rotatably supported by the base frame. The pedal supporting assembly is attached to the base frame and configured to pivot around an axis. The pedal supporting assembly also supports the left and right pedal assemblies. The pedal supporting assembly is operable to generate resistance in response to movement of the left and right pedals and the pedal supporting assembly pivoting around the axis.

An exercise machine, comprising:
- a base frame adapted to be positioned on a support surface;
- a pair of left and right pedal assemblies, each of which positioned over and rotatably supported by the base frame at a first end of the left and right pedal assemblies, the pedal assemblies having a pair of left and right pedals, and
- a pedal supporting assembly attached to the base frame and configured to pivot around an axis and support the left and right pedal assemblies at a second end of each of the left and right pedal assemblies, the pedal supporting assembly comprising a resistance generating component, wherein the resistance generating component includes an elastic component operable to generate resistance in response to movement of the left and right pedals and the pedal supporting assembly pivoting around the axis.
