An exercise device comprising: a frame (10), first and second foot supports (24a, 24b) suspended on a frame (10) by first (18c, 26c, 26b) and second (18d, 26a, 26d) linkage assemblies, one or the other or both of the frame linkage assemblies being interconnected to an adjustment device (55, 56) that is selectively adjustable by a user to select one of a plurality of discrete segments (AP, P1, AP, P2) of a master or overall path of arcuate travel (J) and to a lateral adjustment device (58a, 58b) that enables the user to selectively adjust the path of travel of the foot supports a selected angle (8, 8) relative to a central axis of the device.

An exercise apparatus with divergent/convergent motion along the symmetric semi elliptical route includes a base frame for supporting all the components of the apparatus, two handlebars move along the symmetric semi elliptical route, two feet pedals move along the symmetric semi elliptical route in harmony with the handlebars, Two link mechanisms to create symmetrical semi elliptical route to support handlebars and feet pedals, power transmission system to connect link mechanisms and synchronize their motion. This apparatus enables user to move hands forward/backward in the same direction so that hands have a lateral divergent motion at the start of the route and lateral convergent motion at the end of the route. By moving hands along the symmetric semi elliptical route a symmetrical variable pressure will be applied on the different muscles. Feet move along the symmetric semi elliptical route in full harmony with hands so that hands move backward/forward in the opposite direction of feet.

An exercise device comprising: a frame having a generally vertical planar axis, first and second foot supports suspended on the frame by first and second linkage assemblies that are respectively arranged on the frame such that the first and second foot supports are pivotable through a front to back arcuate path of travel that is disposed at a selected angle between about five and about forty five degrees relative to the vertical planar axis.

A walking trainer includes a linear transmission unit including two carriages, and two pedal units each including a pedal holder, which includes a bottom frame carried on one respective carriage, upright posts mounted at the bottom frame and a top block mounted on and movable up and down along the upright posts, a rotary shaft mounted in the top block in a direction perpendicular to the upright posts and a pedal mounted on the rotary shaft and biasable with the rotary shaft relative to the pedal holder. Thus, the pedals of the pedal units can be moved with the respective carriages linearly and alternatively back and forth, on the other hand, and can also be moved with the associating top blocks up and down and biased with the respective rotary shafts relative to the respective pedal holders to simulate the walking gait path.

A drive mechanism for an elliptically-driven device includes a drive arm with a foot platform pivot assembly; a crank arm; a foot platform assembly pivotally coupled to the drive arm via the foot platform pivot assembly; a foot platform angle adjustment mechanism operably coupling the foot platform assembly to the crank arm so as to impart a foot platform angle of the foot platform assembly relative to the drive arm that varies during a stroke of the foot platform assembly.

An elliptical stepper includes a base, a damping device mounted on the base, two crank devices respectively laterally mounted to two opposite sides of the damping device. Each crank device has a stepping device mounted thereon and each stepping device has a roller set mounted to a bottom thereof, wherein the roller set is universally rolled relative to a corresponding one of the two stepping device. The base includes two opposite sides each having a guiding structure disposed thereon. Each guiding structure includes at least one rail having a front end outwardly extending relative to a center line of the base. Each roller set is moved along a corresponding one of the two guiding structures such that each stepping device provides a wiggling effect when moved along an elliptical route.

An exercise apparatus includes a base having a rear end and a front end. A support extends upright from the front end of the base and supports a handle assembly disposed at an elevated location relative to the front end of the base. A framework, between the rear end of the base and the front end of the base, is mounted to the rear end of the base for movement of the framework between a lowered inclined position relative to the rear end of the base and a raised inclined position relative to the rear end of the base, and for side-to-side pivotal movement of the framework about a longitudinal axis. Opposed foot supports are mounted to the framework on either side of the longitudinal axis for movement in reciprocal directions relative to the handle assembly.

A hip adductor and abductor machine, wherein an action structure is installed on both sides of a device frame; the action structure comprises a pivot rotatably pivoted on the device frame, and rotating arms are installed on the pivot; one end of a resistance structure is connected to the device frame, and the other end thereof is provided with a connecting hook; when the device is in an abduction function state, two ends of a retractable elastic resistance rope are fixed on the rotating arms on both sides; when the device is in an adduction function state, a pin passes through the rotating arm and the connecting hook to connect the rotating arm and the resistance structure. The invention provides a machine with small volume, simple operation and dual functions of hip adduction and abduction.
