Adaptive motion exercise device with oscillating track
First Claim
1. An exercise device comprising:
- a frame;
a first ramp supported by the frame;
a first oscillating track having a first end pivotably coupled to the frame and a second end; and
a first foot link having a first portion coupled to the first ramp so as to reciprocate along the first ramp relative to the first ramp and a second portion coupled to the first track so as to reciprocate along the first track while pivoting relative to the first track so as to move through a first selected one of a first plurality of different available paths and to change between the first plurality of different available paths in response to force applied by a person to the first foot link.

Abstract
An exercise device includes a first foot link and a second foot link. The first foot link has a first portion and a second portion linearly guided along a first axis. The first portion of the first foot link is pivotable about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. The second portion is pivotable of the first foot link is pivotable about an oscillating third axis perpendicular to the first axis. The second foot link has a first portion and a second portion linearly guided along a fourth axis parallel to the first axis. The second portion of the second foot link is pivotable about a fifth axis perpendicular to the fourth axis. The first portion of the second foot link is pivotable about an oscillating sixth axis perpendicular to the fourth axis.

18. A method comprising:
-
reciprocating and pivoting a first portion of a first foot link along a first ramp while reciprocating and pivoting a second portion of the first foot link along a first oscillating track to move through a first selected one of a first plurality of different available paths and to change between the first plurality of different available paths in response to force applied by a person to the first foot link; and reciprocating and pivoting a first portion of a second foot link along a second ramp while reciprocating and pivoting a second portion of the second foot link along a second oscillating track to move through a second selected one of a second plurality of different available paths and to change between the second plurality of different available paths in response to force applied by a person to the second foot link. - View Dependent Claims (19)
