An exercise device comprising:
- a frame;
- a first member movably coupled to the frame so as to be moved by feet of a person and configured to move through a selected one of a first plurality of different available paths and to change between the first of different available paths in response to force applied by a person to the first member;
- a display;
- and
- a controller configured to generate control signals causing the display to present at least one visible tracing, wherein when the at least one visible tracing comprises a plurality of visible tracings, the plurality of visible tracings are concurrently presented, wherein each of the at least one visible tracing is based upon at least one of the plurality of different available paths taken by the first member by the person during an exercise session and wherein the at least one visible tracing overlaps itself or another visible tracing that is also based upon at least one of the plurality of different available paths taken by the first member in response to force applied by the person during the exercise session.
