Varied gait exercise device with anatomically aligned hip pivots

An exercise device, comprising:

• (a) a frame having a forward end and a rearward end,
• (b) a first upper leg link pivotally coupled to the frame for pivoting about a first upper pivot point, and a second upper leg link pivotally coupled to the frame for pivoting about a second upper pivot point, wherein the first and second upper pivot points define a laterally extending upper pivot axis,
• (c) a first lower leg link directly pivotally coupled to the first upper leg link distal to the first upper pivot point for pivoting about a first lower pivot point, and a second lower leg link directly pivotally coupled to the second upper leg link distal to the second upper pivot point for pivoting about a second lower pivot point, and
• (d) a foot support attached to each lower leg link distal to the respective lower pivot point,
• (e) wherein the upper leg links, lower leg links and foot supports are supported, configured and arranged such that the upper pivot axis will pass posterior to the hip bone of an orthostatic forward facing suited user supported upon the foot supports with the foot supports horizontally and vertically aligned.
