Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an exercise machine.
  • Aerobic exercise is a popular form of exercise that improves one's cardiovascular health by reducing blood pressure and providing other benefits to the human body. Aerobic exercise generally involves low intensity physical exertion over a long duration of time. Generally, the human body can adequately supply enough oxygen to meet the body's demands at the intensity levels involved with aerobic exercise. Popular forms of aerobic exercise include running, jogging, swimming, and cycling among others activities. In contrast, anaerobic exercise often involves high intensity exercises over a short duration of time. Popular forms of anaerobic exercise include strength training and short distance running.
  • aerobic exercise machine Many choose to perform aerobic exercises indoors, such as in a gym or their home. Often, a user will use an aerobic exercise machine to have an aerobic workout indoors.
  • One such type of aerobic exercise machine is an elliptical exercise machine, which often includes foot supports that move in fixed reciprocating directions when moved by the feet of a user. Often, the foot supports are mechanically linked to arm levers that can be held by the user during the workout. The arm levers and foot supports move together and collectively provide resistance against the user's motion during the user's workout.
  • Other popular exercise machines that allow a user to perform aerobic exercises indoors include treadmills, rowing machines, and stepper machines, to name a few.
  • Cycling is typically done on stationary bikes indoors or on moving bikes outside that travel off road or on streets.
  • a traditional upright bicycle the user rests his or her body weight entirely on a small portion of the bike's seat, handles, and pedals.
  • an upright bike the user typically leans forward as he or she pedals.
