First Claim
Patent Images
1. An exercise apparatus, comprising:
- a frame;
a treadle assembly operably coupled to the frame to travel in a first direction and a second direction that is opposite the first direction;
a resistance device operably coupling the treadle assembly to the frame and configured to provide resistance as the treadle travels in the first direction and the second direction; and
means for selectively limiting movement of the resistance device to thereby limit movement of the treadle assembly.

Abstract
A method and/or a device may limit a distance traveled by a treadle assembly in an exercise device. For example, the distance traveled by the treadle assembly may be limited by limiting a distance that a resistance element operably coupled to the treadle assembly may travel. An exercise apparatus may include a travel-limiting device or capability.
