ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A device for promoting health and rehabilitation through exercise by way of providing motion to one's legs. The device comprises a frame, with a motor secured to the frame. An axle extends outwardly from the frame to either side and is powered by the motor for rotation about a horizontal axis. The device further comprises a pair of pedals, with one secured to the axle on each side of the frame in offset fashion to rotate in circular fashion as the axle is rotated. Means are associated with each of the pedals to releasably secure a user's foot to the pedal. A flexible leg support strap extends from a portion of the frame. In operation, an end of the strap is wrapped around a leg just behind the knee. The strap is of a length and is positioned so that the leg is free to move as the pedal rotates with one's foot strapped to the pedal while sufficient force is provided by the strap on the leg to prevent unwanted lateral movement of the leg. In a preferred embodiment, a construction is provided that enables each pedal to have its own axis of rotation adjustable m relation to the axis of rotation of the axle.
