Abstract
An exercise device includes one or more foot supports movable along an arcuate path defined around a point of rotation. The arcuate path is divisible into machine defined user selectable arc segments and the movement of the foot support(s) is limited to the machine defined user selected arc segment. The exercise device can include a frame, a linkage movably engaged with the frame, a foot support movably engaged with the linkage, a crank arm movably engaged with the frame, a motor operative to move the crank arm location with respect to the frame, and a drive linkage movably engaging the linkage.

12. An exercise device comprising:
-
a frame having a front region and a rear region; and
a reciprocal motion assembly secured to the frame, the reciprocal assembly including;
a first and a second pair of frame linkages engaged with the frame, a portion of each said pair of frame linkages being movable back and forth toward the front region and the rear region of the frame;
a first and a second foot support, the first foot support engaged with the first pair of frame linkages and the second foot support engaged with the second pair of frame linkages, wherein each said foot support is movable with its corresponding frame linkage toward the front region and rear region of the frame;
a first crank arm engaged with the frame;
a second crank arm engaged with the frame that is approximately 180 degrees out of phase with the first crank arm; and
a first drive linkage engaging one of the first pair of frame linkages and the first crank arm, and a second drive linkage engaging one of the second pair of frame linkages and the second crank arm, wherein the drive linkages are movable in a reciprocal manner toward the front region and rear region of the frame as defined by rotation of the crank arms thus causing the first drive linkage and second drive linkage to move in a bilateral reciprocal manner. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An exercise device comprising:
-
a frame having upper supports;
opposing pairs of frame linkages pivotally engaged with opposing upper supports of the frame;
a pair of foot supports associated with each pair of frame linkages and pivotally engaged therewith;
a crank arm movably engaged with the frame;
a motor operative to move the location of the crank arm with respect to the frame; and
a drive linkage movably engaging the frame linkages and the crank arm. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
