This invention is a mobile exercising apparatus which promotes cardiovascular exercise yet minimizes impact to critical joints. A frame supports of pair of reciprocating members (40) which are displaced generally horizontally (100) along the frame at one end, yet reciprocate in a circular motion (102) at the other through a coupling system attached to the frame. Structure is included which orients the foot of the user at a preferred acute angular orientation and permits each foot to move in a generally elliptical path (102) during exercise, and drive a wheel (56) whereby propelling the apparatus. This allows simulation of walking or running without impact. The device may include linkage to facilitate a corresponding upper body exercise involving movement of the arm in which case each hand of the user is displaced along an arcuate path.

Appareil d'exercise mobile qui stimule les fonctions cardio-vasculaires sans pour autant soumettre des articulations sensibles à des chocs. Un cadre soutient deux éléments à mouvement alternatif (40) qui se déplace essentiellement dans un plan horizontal (100) selon le cadre à une extrémité, et décrivent un mouvement alternant circulaire (102) à l'autre extrémité grâce à un système de leviers fixés au cadre. Un mécanisme oriente le pied de l'utilisateur selon un angle aigü et permet à chaque pied de se déplacer selon une trajectoire essentiellement elliptique (102) au cours de l'exercise. Ce mécanisme entraîne une roue (56), laquelle assure la propulsion de l'appareil. Ce dispositif permet une simulation de la marche ou de la course sans subir de chocs. Il peut comporter en outre un ensemble de leviers facilitant un exercice correspondant de la partie du corps, par un mouvement des bras selon lequel chacune des mains de l'utilisateur se déplace selon une trajectoire courbe.
