Abstract
A safety device for use with an elliptical exercise machine includes a holder frame, a movable member, a locking member, and an operating member. The holder frame is fixedly mounted in the elliptical exercise machine at a predetermined selected location. The movable member is movably mounted in the elliptical exercise machine. The locking member is movably mounted in the holder frame in order to selectively lock the movable member from moving. The operating member is operable to move the locking member. A user can lock the movable member of the elliptical exercise machine after each exercise. When the user uses the elliptical exercise machine again and steps on the pedals of the elliptical exercise machine before starting to exercise, the user will not accidentally fall from the elliptical exercise machine due to an unexpected displacement of the center of gravity.
