1. An exercise machine comprising in combination:

  • a frame;

    a flywheel operatively connected to the frame for rotation about a flywheel axis relative to the frame;

    at least one elongated member;

    at least one arm pole;

    first and second stepping members operatively connected to the frame for movement relative to the frame, between raised and lowered positions, each stepping member having a stepping surface positioned and configured to be stepped upon by the user;

    a stair-climbing drive mechanism operatively connected to the flywheel in a manner to cause the flywheel to rotate about the flywheel axis upon movement of the stepping members from their raised positions to their lowered positions;

    elongated members each operatively connected to the frame for motion in a circular motion relative to the frame;

    Andan elliptical drive mechanism operatively connected to each of the first cranks and operatively connected to the flywheel in a manner to cause the flywheel to rotate about the flywheel axis upon circular movement of the cranks relative to the frame;

    at least one crank pedal positioned above and attached to the said elongated members facilitating a cyclic motion, said cyclic motion being a simulation of an elliptical motion;

    an adjustable seat mounted between said elongated members and being adjustable in both a vertical and horizontal plane, said seat adjustment giving the exercise machine the ability to simulate standard and recumbent elliptical motion;

    a set of arm extension poles or arm extension poles operatively connect to a second elongated member that operatively connects to the elongated member;

    said arm extension poles being pivotally connected to a front riser;

    said front riser depending vertically from a flywheel housing;

    said flywheel housing containing said flywheel.
