Abstract
A stationary exercise device with adjustable members for varying the stride path and the exercise intensity of a user is disclosed. The stationary device having a stationary frame and a movable frame that moves relative to the stationary frame to vary the exercise intensity of a user.
Claims13
A stationary exercise apparatus, comprising:
- a. a stationary frame;
- b. a movable frame, having a horizontal section and a vertical section, the horizontal section having a front portion movably coupled to the stationary frame and a rear portion pivotally coupled about a first pivot axis to an upper portion of the vertical section, the vertical section having a lower portion coupled to the stationary frame about a second pivot axis;
- c. first and second swing members, each of the swing members having an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portions of the first and second swing members pivotally coupled to the movable frame at points which define a swing axis;
- d. first and second supporting members, each of the supporting members having a first end portion coupled to the stationary frame to rotate along a first closed path, and each of the supporting members having a second end portion pivotally connected to the corresponding lower portion of the swing member;
- e. first and second pedals respectively coupled to the first and second supporting members to move along a second closed path;
- f. a driving assembly coupled to the stationary frame for driving the front portion of the horizontal section of the movable frame to move between a first point and a second point along a first adjustment path relative to the stationary frame, whereby the swing axis is correspondingly moved relative to the stationary frame in a substantially fore and aft direction.
