Exercising machine
First Claim
1. An exercising device, comprising:
- a body;
two main wheels, each connected to a different footrest;
two connecting rods, each of the two connecting rods is connected on a first end to the body of the exercising device and to one of the two main wheels on a second end;
each of the two connecting rods is connected to a single point on one of the two main wheels, such that the each of the two main wheels moves around the single point;
wherein the course of the footrest'"'"'s movement is elliptical when the single point connecting each of the two connecting rods to each of the two main wheels is a non-centric position on the main wheels and circular when the single point connecting each of the two connecting rods to each of the two main wheels is a centric position on the main wheelwherein the movement of the footrests is elliptical when the two main wheels are moved on a horizontal axis and circular when the two main wheels are not moved on the horizontal axis.

Abstract
The subject matter discloses an exercising device enabled to switch between elliptical course and circular course of footrests used by a user, comprising two main wheels, each connected to a different footrest; two connecting rods, the distal end of each connecting rod is connected to each main wheel and the proximal end of each connecting rod is connected to the body of the exercising device, said connecting rods are enabled to move the two main wheels on a horizontal axis.
The subject matter also discloses a mechanism within an exercising device enabling both elliptical and circular movement of a footrest in the exercising device, the mechanism comprising: a main wheel connected to the footrest and rotated upon movement of the footrest; a connecting rod connected on its proximal end to the body of the exercising device and on its distal end to the main wheel; wherein the course of the footrest'"'"'s movement is elliptical when the distal end is connected to a non-centric position on the main wheel and circular when the connecting rod is connected to a centric position on the main wheel or when the connecting rod is not connected to both the main wheel and the body of the exercising device.
The footrests and handlebars of the exercising device fit the new motions enabled by the device. A stepper can also be embedded within the exercising device of the disclosed subject matter.

8. An exercising device, comprising:
-
a body; two main wheels, each connected to a different footrest; two connecting rods, each of the two connecting rods is connected on a first end to the body of the exercising device and to one of the two main wheels on a second end; each of the two connecting rods is connected to a single point on one of the two main wheels, such that the each of the two main wheels moves around the single point; wherein the course of the footrest'"'"'s movement is elliptical when the single point connecting each of the two connecting rods to each of the two main wheels is a non-centric position on the main wheels and circular when the single point connecting each of the two connecting rods to each of the two main wheels is a centric position on the main wheel; and wherein an amplitude of the horizontal movement of the two main wheels is zero when each of the two connecting rods is connected to the centric position on the main wheel.
