(57) In an exercise apparatus that includes a frame that is adapted for placement on the
floor, a pivot axle supported by the frame, a pedal lever and a pedal, a mechanism
is provided that allows the pedal to be selectively moved by a user relative to the
pedal lever in order to produce a variety of elliptical paths. As a result, by varying
the pedal position relative to the pedal lever, the corresponding elliptical path
of the pedal can be changed, for example, relative to a fixed, horizontal plane, such
as the floor, to simulate an uphill, horizontal or downhill gait.
