Abstract
A step exerciser has a base, two pedal assemblies, a segmented vertical bar, a handle and a seat. The segmented vertical bar comprises an upper bar and a middle bar and is connected to the base. The handle is adjustably attached to the upper bar. The seat is foldably attached to the upper bar. With such an exerciser, the handle and the seat can be respectively adjusted relative to the upper bar, such that the step exerciser can be adjusted for use in different positions, and a user can use the step exerciser in a standing or a sitting position. The use of the step exerciser becomes more versatile.
