Abstract
In an exercise apparatus resistance may be provide by the inertia of unsprung mass. The exercise apparatus may include a frame and dependently coupled foot support members movably connected to the frame. The foot support members carry a weight mass which may be adjusted to increase or decrease the unsprung mass providing inertial resistance to linear or arcuate acceleration.
