Exercise assemblies having foot pedal members that are movable along user defined paths

An exercise assembly comprising:

• a frame;
• a first pedal member that has a first portion and a second portion;
• a second pedal member that has a first portion and a second portion;
• a first coupler arm that has a first portion and a second portion, wherein the second portion of the first coupler arm is pivotally coupled to the frame;
• a second coupler arm that has a first portion and a second portion, wherein the second portion of the second coupler arm is pivotally coupled to the frame;
• a first crank member that has a first portion that is pivotally coupled to the first portion of the first pedal member and a second portion that is pivotally coupled to the first portion of the first coupler arm;
• and
• a second crank member that has a first portion that is pivotally coupled to the first portion of the second pedal member and a second portion that is pivotally coupled to the first portion of the second coupler arm;
• wherein the first crank member is rotatable in a circular path about the first portion of the first coupler arm as the first coupler arm pivots back and forth with respect to the flame and wherein the second crank member is rotatable in a circular path about the first portion of the second coupler arm as the second coupler arm pivots back and forth with respect to the frame, such that the first and second pedal members are each movable along user defined paths of differing dimensions;
• and
• first and second timing belts coupled to the second portions of the first and second crank members, respectively, such that movement of the first and second crank members along, the circular paths causes rotation of the respective first and second timing belts.
