The circle 16 (A, B) to the circle 2〇 (A, B) exhibits a half cycle of the reciprocating motion of the pedals, that is, the movement of the left pedal from a lower position to the upper position and the right side The movement of the pedal from an upper position to a lower position. A complete slope-type exercise reduction system is started by a pedal from a certain position in the manner of _ ^ -fr ha ^ , ^ λ and returns to the same The movement of the position indicates that the y water jacket does not include a full upward stroke of the pedal (from the lower position to the upper position) and a complete downward stroke of the pedal (from the upper position to the lower position). For example, a step cycle (upper position of the right pedal) involving the lower position of the left pedal will include movement of the left pedal up from the lower position to the upper position and then back down to the lower position. In another example, a step cycle (see Figure Μ) involving the midpoint position of the left pedal will include an upward movement of the pedal to the position of the i-side, a downward movement from the position above the syllabary, The upward movement through the intermediate position and to the lower position and back to the midpoint position. The order of the up and down pedal movements is not important. Therefore, the upward movement can be followed by a downward movement or a downward movement followed by an upward movement. Referring to Figure 10 and other figures, in a particular configuration, the exercise device includes a step sensor 144 that provides an output pulse corresponding to each downward stroke of each of the pedals. The step sensor is implemented by a 2012 reed switch 丨46, which includes a magnet 148 and a detector 150. The magnet is attached to the end of a bracket 152 that extends upwardly from the arcuate rocker arm portion 112. The bracket is oriented such that it swings back and forth past the detector, and the detector is mounted on a bracket 157 that is coupled to the curved rocker cross member 114. The reed switch 146 triggers an output pulse each time the magnet 148 passes through the detector 15A. Therefore, when the right pedal 丨 2β is moving downward, the reed relationship transmits an output pulse corresponding to the magnet passing down the detector, and when the left pedal 12A is moving upward, s Xuan The reed switch also transmits an output pulse that corresponds to the movement of the magnet that passes upwardly through the detector. These output pulses are used to monitor the pedal's oscillation and stroke count as the pedal moves up and down during use. It is also possible to determine the size of the depth or vertical stroke by means of an additional sensor arranged substantially vertically. These output pulses can be used alone or in conjunction with belt speed signals to provide an exercise frequency indicator and can be used in various exercise related calculations, such as determining the user's calorie burn rate. As shown most clearly in Figures 3, 6 and 16-8 to 2A, in a particular embodiment, each of the pedals includes a drop assembly 154. The drop assembly includes a general The upper ν-shaped brackets (9), > are connected to each other between the inner side member and the outer side structure of the pedal frame. The vortex region of the chevron bracket is oriented downwardly and generally defines a flat mounting surface 158. A block 16 is attached to the downwardly facing portion of the mounting surface. When the exercise device is assembled, the preferred 25 201200202 is configured by the sleeve nut (134, 136) to configure the pedals such that when the pedal is in its lowest position, the block 60 can be The locking cross member 162 is held slightly above the lower portion. A bumper 164 can be secured to the cross member 162 to mitigate the impact of the pedal if the pedal falls to a minimum. In one example, the block is made of a rigid, non-flexible plastic. The block can also be made of a sturdy or flexible elastomeric material. In a flexible, elastic form, the block will provide some cushioning to enhance the cushioning provided by the buffer, or when no buffer is used, in case of The block provides a bumper when the locking cross member falls to the bottom. As described above, the exercise device 1 can be constructed in a lock-out '' position wherein the pedal assembly does not pivot up and down. In a particular locking orientation, the pedal assembly is pivotally secured such that the tread belts are parallel and are approximately at a 丨〇% slope relative to the rear side of the exercise device. Thus, in a front-facing use, the user can simulate an uphill step, and in a rear-facing use, the user can simulate a downhill step. 21 to 23 show an alternative embodiment of the exercise device. In this alternative embodiment, each pedal (12A, i2B) includes a tread belt 18 that provides a moving surface like a treadmill. Each tread belt is supported by a front roller and a rear roller. Upstairs. However, unlike the embodiment of Figures i through 20, the rear roller 166 26 201200202 is common to both pedals. The rear roller can be supported on the frame or the pedal and can have a rotating main shaft with the pedals, or can have a separate rotation in front of, behind, above and/or below the pivoting spindle of the pedal. Spindle. As discussed in more detail below, in one embodiment, the opposite end portions of the rear roller are rotatably supported at the rear end of the frame. The respective outer materials 54, 56 of the left side pedal 12A and the right side pedal 12B are rotatably supported by the outer end portions of the rear rollers. However, the respective inner members 56, 54 of the left and right pedals i2A, 12B are not coupled to the rear rollers, and are coupled to the frame via an internal support structure defining a virtual pivot 168. More particularly, the internal yoke structure includes brackets 〇7〇, 丨 72 extending rearwardly from the inner 卩 sides 56 ′ 54 of the pedals, such as being carried in a moving manner with at least one The studs are coupled to each other and the studs are coupled to the rear end of the frame. The internal sub-building structure thus allows each of the pedals to be positioned closer to each other along the inner side edges than a comparable exercise device having two separate rear rollers. The support structure of the inner chamber also allows the inner side of each pedal to move around a central pivot at the rear end of each pedal, as if it were supported at the central pivot, even if the internal support The structure is not directly seated at the position of the pivoting action. More specifically, each of the pedal assemblies 12 is pivotally supported above a rear support structure 174 of the main frame 14. More specifically, the «Hai rear support structure includes 27 201200202 supported by a rear frame support 2012i 7 8 a rear drive casting 17 6 . As discussed in more detail below, the drive bracket extending upwardly from the rear drive casting supports the opposite end portions of the rear rollers 166 in a rotatable manner. An inner support structure 168 that rotatably supports the inner side of the pedal frame includes a mounting block 180' that extends upwardly from the rear drive casting between its opposite end portions. As discussed in more detail below, the mounting block system supports the longitudinal members 54, 56 of the inside of the pedal frame 52. As shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, the axle end portions 1A, 1 82B of the rear roller 166 are rotatably supported by the left side drive bracket 84 and the right side drive bracket 84B at the rear drive casting 176. Above. The corresponding radial bearings 81A and 81B rotatably support the end portions of the axles in the bracket. As best shown in Figures 22 and 23, the right and left drive brackets are bolted to a pair of flanges 184' which drive the opposite ends of the casting from the rear. The part extends upwards. As previously mentioned, the inner support structure 168 acts to support the longitudinal members %, 54 of the respective inner sides of the pedals 12A' 12B. More particularly, 'the internal sub-building structure includes internal brackets 170, 172 extending from the pedal sill members %, ,, and the pedal frame members %, tethered to the opposite side of the mounting block 180 The studs i86A extending at the sides are slidably coupled.

These inner brackets include a curved portion 'which extends downwardly and rearwardly from the inner longitudinal member 54, the rear portion 28 201200202 end. Each of these internal brackets defines at least one of the elongated holes 188A, 188B therein that are slidably supported by studs 186A, 186B extending from the mounting block. As each of the pedals pivots about the rear pivoting spindle 16, the studs on the mounting block slide through the elongated holes & thereby cutting the inner longitudinal members of the pedal frame. The virtual polar axis defined by the curved portion of the inner bracket of the material and the mutual influence of the column screws has a pivot center shared with the rear twisting main shaft. In addition to the lower body workout features provided by the exercise device illustrated in Figures 1 through 23, Figures 24 through 37 are shown to include one or more upper half forged chains (arm, chest, back, shoulder) Etc.) Features a variety of fitness: set. Figures 24 through 37, discussed in detail below, are based on the exercise device discussed above in Figure 23 of the accompanying drawings. The fitness device does not directly have many features related to the characteristics of the upper body. The φ ^ τ 行 line point is included in the figure r. However, it should be recognizable that a method of providing an exercise device with an upper body feature includes a force that does not have a force of φ ^ θ, and that is not shown in Figure 24 to Figure 37.

A first embodiment of the floor exercise device 10. In this embodiment, the handle bar is attached to each of the pedals (12A, (10) by first and second posts (194, 196). The posts may be changeable. Length and construction. In addition, one, three, or more columns can be used to secure each handle bar to an individual pedal. These columns are tied to the frame member 54 (left pedal) and right side of the left pedal. The frame member of the pedal is coupled to the right side pedal (the right side pedal). The handle bar is slightly curved. The handle bar can be of any shape. In the embodiment of Figure 24, the posts (4, 42) and the handles The rod 44 and the console 5 of Figures 1 through 20 are not shown. It is possible to provide a console that extends from the front of the device. In one example, the console is located The phase portion of a pedestal is slid up from the front area of the frame and in front of the steps, as shown in Figure 25. The joint between the columns and the pedal is fixed. 'and It is possible to pivot. In Figure 24, the left side pedal 12A is in an upturned orientation, and the right 30 201200202 side pedal 12B is in a lower pivoting orientation. The pivoting action of the associated pedal - the shock. When the pedal is turned up, the handle 192 is also pivoted upwards. By means of the gripper + Μ and depressed to push the pedal down, or up Pulling the pedal up, the user can achieve the upper body exercise and accompany the lower body and the cardiovascular field. When the (4) handle is pulled or pushed, the user acts to connect the pedals from each other, pedal movement, pedal Resistance structures and the like to resist one or all of the forces. Figure 25 depicts a second embodiment of a dual bottom plate exercise device U) using an upper body exercise structure. The function of the embodiment of Fig. 25 is similar to that of Fig. 24. In this example, the _192 is extended from the outer rear direction of each pedal and forward. Each of the handles can include one or more posts 194 that attach the handle to the pedal at a second location. Similar to the embodiment of Fig. 24, the handles also move as the pedals move up and down. Thus, the user can hold the handles and pull or push on the handles to apply a downward force on the pedals or apply an upward force on the pedals. The exercise device of Figure 25 includes a post or post 198 extending upwardly from the front of the frame. The pedestal supports the console 20. Figure 26 depicts an embodiment of a dual floor exercise device ίο using an upper body exercise structure. In this embodiment, the uprights (2〇2, 204) extend upwardly adjacent to the outer rear side of each of the pedals. A cross member 206 extends between the tops of each of the columns. One handle 2〇8 series 31 201200202 is pivotally connected to the front area of the °H cross member. The handle extends forwardly from the transverse member, generally above the outer edge of the associated pedal and parallel to the outer edge. Thus, during use, the handles are generally positioned on either side of the user. The handle bar 208 is hingedly attached to the pedals (12A, 12B) by various hinge joints and fixed length members 21. In the discriminant configuration, the upward pivoting motion of one pedal is associated with a downward pivoting of the associated handle. In addition, the downward motion of a pedal is associated with an upward pivoting of the associated handle. Thus, when a user presses on the handle, it acts via the linkage assembly 21G to pull up on the associated pedal. Further, when a user pulls up a handle, it acts to push down on the associated pedal via the linkage assembly. Each of the hinge assemblies 21G includes a first member 212 that is coupled to the outer members (56, 54) of each of the pedal assemblies. (d) - the structure; extends upwardly 'and substantially perpendicular to the pedal assembly. A second system is pivotally coupled to the S-first member. The second member extends generally rearward of the first member. Finally, a third member 216 is pivotally coupled to the second member at a pivotal connection to the first member. The third member is also coupled to the handle 208. The handle is a downwardly extending section 218 that is located below the pole-turning portion of the handle and the transverse mechanism 6. The third member is coupled to the downwardly extending section. When the pedals are raised and/or the handlebars are low, the components are extended or contacted around the hinge joints to hold the operational connection between the two components at 32 201200202; In addition, the material member and the more linked head can be constructed to allow the handle stick to move toward or away from the pedal as the pedal moves up or down. The downward force on the + 2 〇 8 acts to rotate the downwardly extending section 218 backward. The rearward movement of the lower section urges the third member 216 and the first member 214 rearwardly to apply an upward and rearward force to the first members 212. The force on the first member 212 acts to apply an upward force on the respective pedals. Conversely, the upward or downward force on the pedal acts to apply a downward or upward force on the handle. Figure 27 is a diagram showing a fourth embodiment of an exercise device U) using a double bottom plate of an upper body exercise structure. The upper body exercise structure includes a cable 22G that is coupled to one or more flexible resilient resistive members 222. Tilting the mirror line causes the resistance member to bend. One type of flexible member that can be used is the Bowl p〇 riding Rod®». A resistance member like PowerR〇d8 is similar to the resistance bar disclosed in the following patents: April 27, 1984 U.S. Patent No. 4:620, No. 704, and 1986, filed on U.S. Patent No. 4: 620, 1986, and U.S. Patent No. UmVersal Exercising Maehine, which were incorporated by reference. This is used as a reference. Embodiments consistent with the concepts of the present invention may use one or more of the resistance members 222 for any of the sides of the user. In the example shown in Fig. 37, the resistance members extend rearward from a frame section 33 201200202 at the front of the exercise device. A lever member such as Yanhai is disposed on the outer side of each pedal and is substantially parallel to the side of the pedal. It is possible to orient the resistance members in a manner other than 224 sides, such as vertically or laterally (like wings), etc. to provide a different type of upper body exercise. For example, in an embodiment in which the power rod is oriented perpendicular to the front of the user, as in Figure 28, the muscles exercised by the user and the power rods are seated. The muscles under the user are not $. Three resistance members are shown at the respective sides of each of the pedals; and, regardless of the number of resistance members. The resistance members can have varying diameters and lengths. A user can connect a desired number of two bar members to a hook that is connected to one end of the dance line. Applying sufficient force to the resistance cable (resistance member) will cause the resistance rod member connected to the I line to bend, and the system will exert resistance against the force of the magic line. Because the rods are resilient, when the force is reduced or removed from the resistance cable, the attached resistance rods will tend to deflect to return to a generally straight orientation. In the example of the exercise device of Figure 27, the handle structure extends between the front of the device and the rear of the device at each side of the user in a generally arched configuration. In addition to this, a rod 228 extends from a direction that approximates the arcuate peak region formed by the handles. A pulley is attached to the handle structure. The 2 = broken connection to any stable surface of the exercise device. In addition, other structures may be added to the exercise device to support the pulley in different orientations or to support a plurality of pulleys, the cable being routed 34 201200202 the pulley, i the cable The end of the line includes a hook or other fastening = configuration to connect to the underlying resistive meal 222 and the other end of the wire that includes a handle 232. In use, the user holds one or two handles and pulls to actuate and bend the resistance member 222. Depending on the number of the ends of the resistance members, the number of the hooked resistance members, 16 may require different amounts or components. " Figure 28 is an illustration of an embodiment of a dual floor exercise device comprising: an upper body exercise member 19A similar to that shown in Figure 27; wherein the flexible resilient resistance members 222 are The system is vertically seated and seated in front of the exercise device 1 and has a handle configuration of a different configuration. A cable 220 and pulley arrangement on the outside of each pedal are used. Referring to the right side of the exercise device, a pulley raft is supported on a post 234 extending upward from the frame and the outer side of the right pedal 128. The pulley of the post may include a second pulley 236' that holds the cable so that an upper body exercise assembly can be used to pull the cable in various directions without escaping from the pulleys. Further, a second pulley 238 is supported on the frame below the front of the right pedal and slightly forward. In this case a set of resistance members 222, such as a flexible flex member of Power Rod®, extends from the frame upwardly in front of the pedal. A set of resistance members is used for each cable and pulley configuration. The rifling 220 is wound through the pulleys (230, 238), and one end has a hook 35 for connection with one or more resistance members. 201200202, and the other end has _ a handle 232. When the user holds the handle and pulls it, the force is transmitted by the t-line for f-folding or one-night resistance member. When the sigma force is reduced or removed, the resistance member is straightened to its original shape. Again, the number of such pulleys and the positioning of the or the pulleys can be configured to provide a number of different upper body exercises. Further, the pulleys (23〇, 236) can be movably coupled to the post 234 or the frame to allow adjustment of the upper body. 29 depicts an embodiment of a dual floor exercise device 1A similar to that shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, but with a flexible resilient resistance structure 222 configured to be substantially vertical and in the Rear of the fitness device. A set of individual resistance members are located behind the outside of each pedal (12, eight). b with other embodiments' In this example, Power Rod® technology can be used for these resistance structures. Furthermore, a cable of a pulley is disposed outside each pedal and is adapted to be coupled to an individual resistance member. Referring to the right side of the device, a slide 238 is attached to the frame to approach the lower side of the front side of the right pedal. An I line 22G is wound around the pulley. The cable includes a fishing rod or other fastening device S' for attachment to the resistance members. The opposite ends of the double wire include a handle 232. The user is gripping the post to apply a force on the or the resistance members. In this way, the user can obtain an exercise of the upper body. Figure 30 depicts another embodiment of an upper body exercise device that uses an upper body exercise assembly, including a resisting element and a; 36 201200202 wheel system. This embodiment is the resisting element 222 (for example, p〇wer

In this manner, the resisting member may be characterized as a "resistance element" as defined above. The resistance members 222 are oriented vertically and coupled to the frame in front of the pedals. A first pulley 24 is attached to the frame slightly forward and below the set of resistance members on the right side. A second pulley 242 is disposed on a pedestal 244 that is behind the resistance members And in front of the right side pedal. A cable 220 is wound from the top of the or the resistance members through the pulleys ' and to the front or side of each pedal. Each pedal is brought to the basic in the same manner. The configuration of a pulley, a rifling and a resistance element of the same configuration. The downward movement or force of the pedals acts to deflect the respective resistance members of the kidney and is resisted in this way. Again, because of the rods When the force is reduced or removed from the resistance wire, the connected resistance bar will tend to be biased to restore to a large The straight orientation is such that the resistance members contribute to the upward movement of the pedals. Therefore, the resistance members perform a pivotal resistance function of the pedal and a pedal recovery function. The component acts - a force to resist - a downward pedal action, forcing the user to use more force to lower the pedal and enhance the - the lower half of the forging chain can also use the eve resistance element (each element provides a resistance level) In addition to this, the handle 246 can be twisted and coupled to the so that the user can be pulled back to the cowhide 37 201200202 or resist the direction on the resistance members. Front pull. In such an embodiment, a suitable clearance between the pulley of the pedestal and each of the resistance members would be required. Figure 31 depicts another dual floor exercise device using the upper body exercise assembly 190. In this example, the upper body exercise structure includes a winding through the pulley configuration and a sling line connected to each pedal, each sill line and the pedal The opposite ends of the connecting portion are fitted with a handle 232. A pulling action on the cable acts to pivot the pedals downward. Further, the pedals The upward drag motion causes a pulling action on the cable. In this example, the first pair of pulleys 248 are seated below the front side of each pedal, and one pulley is located below the left pedal and the Below the right pedal, a second pair of pulleys 25, each of which is aligned with each of the lower pulleys, is coupled to an upright frame member 252 that is seated in front of the pedals. Finally, each of them The fourth set of pulleys 254 that are aligned with the respective heart wheels are seated at the top of the upright members. These sets of pulleys guide a corresponding set of I-wires 220, each of which is interposed between each The bottom of the pedal to a position in front of the user on the device]"Hai-group pulley may include a set of cable limiting pulleys 256: indicated by dashed lines, which are located directly below the third pulley above :. Configured in this way, an I-line is connected to the activity of the lower frame of each pedal. Cables such as gentry pass through the corresponding group of pulleys. The handle is attached to the end of the pulley that extends from the second set of pulleys. For the forged chain of the upper body, the user can hold the handles and pull them on the cables, and the cables will apply a downward force on the associated pedals. Alternatively or in addition, the user can grip the handle and resist pulling on the cable caused by the downward movement of the pedals. Figure 32 depicts yet another embodiment of a dual-plate exercise device 10 that utilizes an upper body exercise structure. In this example, the upper body exercise structure includes a first handle 258 and a second handle 260'. These handles are pivotally coupled to the shuttle frame below each respective pedal, and the handles are The system extends upward and forward to the outside of each pedal. Each of the handles can be attached to a pedal by a bolt 262 that extends the handle and rests in an elongated aperture 264 defined in one of the side members of each pedal. When a handle is moved forward or backward, the peg is threaded along the elongated hole and slides within the elongated hole during a backward and forward movement. These handles are pivotally supported at one location. Thus, each handle is moved through a chevable path by a weir element and a horizontal element that acts on or is acted upon by the elongate hole. The handles (2) 8, 260) may include a locking pivot ... that is seated between the free end of the handle and the stud and slotted body. The locking pivot allows the upper portion of the handle to occupy a variety of positions. For example, the upper portion of the handle can be pole-turned through an angle of about 90 degrees, in the case of -2 months, in an example, extending downwardly from the locking pivot relative to the handle. The part is pivoted. The upper handle portion can be tied to any angle within the range of motion, although the alternative embodiment can only allow the upper handle portion to occupy a separate position within the range. During use, the user holds the handles (pressing or pulling to apply a back and forth motion to the handles when the handles are coupled to the pedals in the elongated holes 264) A force is applied between the pedals (12A, 12B) and the handles. By holding the handles, a user can view the situation and apply to the handles according to the user and The direction of the force between the pedal and the handles resists the force or increases the force. The exercise resistance at the handles may also be a function of the type of resistance element associated with the pedals. Various resistance elements or structural structures constructed to exert a resistance force on the pivotal motion of the pedals are discussed herein and are incorporated herein by reference. A tenth embodiment having a double bottom (four) body device H) having an upper body exercise structure. The upper body forged chain structure package = the user can hold and push or pull the hand 8 for the upper body of the forging chain. These handles include an upper segment and a lower segment 结合 that are joined together by a gear 274 having teeth. The upper piece of the slave is pivotally coupled to the outer frame of the respective pedal. The upper end portion includes a grip area 2 and U en. The lower end of the upper segment below the 1 axis defines a square (i.e., a gear). Surface 278 having teeth The lower segment 272 can be a sentence; 士, 280, 苴 is similar to 乂 with a stud and slotted device, as described above with respect to Figure 32. However, again 40 201200202 here 'the elongate a 282 is defined in the wall of the frame of the device, the lower end of the lower segment of the handle is „. E includes a slit disposed in the slot An axle 284. The lower end of the lower segment moves back and forth in the slot. The upper end of the lower segment is rotatably coupled to the pedal below the pivot for the upper segment. The lower segment defines an arcuate toothed surface 278A at the upper end above the pivot, the surface being configured to engage a corresponding gear of the upper segment. During the pivotal movement of the pedals The lower piece & 272 series moves back and forth in the long hole. The back and forth movement of the lower end of the lower piece is accompanied by a rotational movement of the gear 278A above the holding shaft. The motion system provides a corresponding rotational motion of the upper segment gear 2. In addition, the rotational motion of the lower gear pivots the handles 268 back and forth. Thus, the manufacturer can hold the handle 268 The handle is then pushed or pulled to resist or apply a force to the pedals for upper body exercise. Figure 34 depicts another embodiment of a dual floor exercise device 10 using an upper body exercise structure 19〇. The upper body structure includes a handle 286 connected to the outer front side of each of the pedals (12A, 12B). The handles may be fixed or pivotally coupled to the pedals. The pivoting movement can be limited to the range of the cutting distance of the knife. Further, the pivoting arrangement can include a resistance member, such as a torsion spring, a pivotally coupled to the handle and the frame. In the case of another (4) generation, 41 201200202 the handles may be coupled to the front rollers 28 by a one-way bearing or wheel and pawl assembly. These handles can be used to provide power or to assist the pedal's belt action (or vice versa). Figure 3 5 depicts the use of an upper body exercise structure i 9 〇 a pair Yet another embodiment of the floor exercise device 10. In this example, a generally L-shaped handle member 28 8 is pivotally coupled to the rear side of the exercise device. The handle includes a generally vertical orientation Section 290 that is pivotally coupled to the frame. A generally horizontally oriented section 292 extends forwardly from the upper end of the vertically oriented section. Horizontally oriented of each handle The segments are positioned above and outside the respective pedals. Springs, impact members or other resistance type members 294 can be attached to the vertical sections of each handle. These resistance structures resist the vertical sections of the individual handles. Pivoting movement forwards, backwards, or both. For the upper body exercise, the user presses down or pulls up on the horizontal section of the handle, upward or upward on the horizontal sections The lower force is transferred into the pivotal motion of the vertical sections 290 which are resisted by the resistance structures 294. Figure 36 depicts yet another embodiment of a dual floor exercise device 10 that utilizes an upper body exercise structure 19〇. The upper body exercise structure includes an exercise handle structure 296' that is pivotally coupled to a fixed handle structure 298 that reaches either side of the pedals (12A' 12B). With respect to the fixed handle structure on the right side, it includes two vertical members 300 that are coupled to the rear portion of the frame. A substantially horizontal beam 302 extends between and from the vertical members. forward. The 42 201200202 beam system is turned upwards from the rear and is positioned above each pedal and to the outside of the pedals. The exercise handle 296 is generally L^^^ and is pivotally coupled to the beam at the intersection of two lengths of the 5th L-shape. A longer length 3〇4 extends forward from the yoke. A shorter length 3〇6 extends downwardly from the pivot. An impact member is coupled between the short length and the fixed handle structure. Thus, the user performs the upper body exercise by pushing down or pulling up on the longer length of the exercise handle, and the handle is resisted by the impact member. Figure 37 depicts an alternative dual floor exercise device 10 that provides an upper body exercise structure 19, which again uses the handle 31〇. In this embodiment, each handle is generally L-shaped and an elongated length 312 extends upwardly from the pivotal connection portion 314 to the frame. The pivotal connection portion for each handle is forward of each of the respective pedals (i2A, 12B). The shorter length 316 of the handle extends rearwardly from the planting connection portion. The wheels 3 1 8 protrude from the rearwardly extending regions & 3 i 6 . Each wheel is configured under one of the respective pedals. The wheel is adapted to engage the underside of the pedals and roll back and forth thereon. In order to support the rolling engagement of the wheels, the bottom of the pedals can be fitted with a suitable panel 320 or channel. The downward movement of the pedal causes the wheel 318 to roll backwards, which causes the vertical handle section (1) 2 to move rearward. Furthermore, the forward force on the handle exerts an upward force on the pedal by the wheel. If the wheel is left in a channel or in the structure on the bottom of the pedal, then the downward movement of the pedal's 43 201200202 causes the wheel to roll backwards, and the upward movement of the pedal causes the wheel to roll forward It provides backward and forward motion on the vertical handle section, respectively. Furthermore, if the wheel system is left in a channel or other structure on the bottom of the pedal, the forward force on the handle will exert an upward force on the pedal by the wheel 318. The upward force and the rearward force on the handle 31〇 also exert a downward force on the pedals (12A, 12B) by the wheels. Thus, the user can exercise the upper body by pulling and/or pushing on the vertical portion 312 of the handle. Figures 38 through 45 illustrate various embodiments of an exercise device that uses one or more flywheels to apply rotational momentum to the tread belts. These embodiments can be used with a motor and are not used with a motor. As such, the flywheel can increase or enhance the movement of the tread belts. Figure 38 is an isometric view of a dual floor exercise device having a flywheel 322 coupled to a rear axle 82. In this example, the rear axle extends outwardly from the left or right roller 3〇 and also over the individual drive brackets 84A or 84C. The flywheel is coupled to an outwardly extending section of the axle. When the user first begins to walk on the belts 18, the belts will apply a rotational motion to the rollers which in turn rotate the rear axles. At the beginning, the user will have to overcome the rotational resistance from the flywheel. However, as the flywheel begins to rotate, its angular momentum will rotate the roller and thus cause the pedaling belt to move. Figure 39 and Figure 40 show an alternative double 44 201200202 heavy floor exercise device having a flywheel 322 coupled to the rear axle 82 for applying a driving force on the pedal belts. The embodiment of 40 functions in the same manner as in Fig. 38. In this example, the flywheel is covered in a shroud 324. The shroud protects the user from accidental contact with the flywheel as the flywheel rotates. Figure 41 is an isometric view of a double bottom panel exercise device having a flywheel 3 2 2 ' rotated about the frame under the frame and below the pedals. The flywheel is oriented to rotate in a generally horizontal plane. 41A, 41B, and 41C show an example of a pulley arrangement for coupling the flywheel 322 to the rear axle 82 and thereby applying angular momentum to the tread belts during use. Fig. 4 i A is a plan view of the pulley arrangement. Fig. 41B is a right side view of the right side side pulley, and Fig. 41C is a left side view of the left side side pulley. The axle pulleys (326, 328) are coupled to the outer end regions of the rear axles. The pulleys can be coupled to the axles in substantially the same manner as the drive pulleys 86. A pair of cable winding pulleys (330, 332) are seated in front of each of the axle pulleys. The cable winding pulleys are positioned in a plane that is perpendicular to the plane of the axle pulleys. Finally, a/moon wheel 334 is also seated on top of the far flywheel 322 and coupled to a flywheel axle 336. The cable (or belt) 3 3 8 is routed around all of the pulleys in a meandering manner such that it links the rotation of the flywheel 322 with the rotation of the rear axle 82, and thus Stepping on the belt 18's 45 201200202 Rotating phase connection. The cable extends rearwardly from the flywheel pulley 334 to a pulley 330A that is routed on the top right side. From the pulley that is routed at the top right side, the cable extends across the right axle pulley 326 and surrounds the pulley. The cable extends from the bottom of the right axle pulley to a rotating pulley 330B on the lower right side and bypasses the pulley. From the lower right side of the winding pulley, the cable extends to the bottom left winding pulley 332b. From here the route of the fiber line passes under the left axle pulley 328, around and reaches the top left winding pulley 332A ^ From the winding pulley on the top left side, the cable extends back to the axle pulley 334 of the flywheel. By means of this route, when a user starts to walk forward on the tread belts, the force is applied to the rear rollers and the rear drive axle 82. With this cable and pulley configuration, the flywheel 322 will begin to rotate in a clockwise direction. Once sufficient angular momentum is established, it is controlled by the user's input and whether a motor is also coupled to the axle. The rotation of the pedaling belt will be driven to some extent by the flywheel. Figure 42 and circle 43 depict a further embodiment of a dual floor exercise device that uses a flywheel 332 to assist in pedaling rotation. In both embodiments the 'flywheel system is rotatably supported at the front side of the exercise device to either side of the pedals. Each flywheel rotates in a vertical plane. The axle pulleys (326, 328), such as those shown in Fig. 42A, are coupled to the outer ends of the drive axles 82. A belt 340 is secured between the left axle pulley 328 and a left flywheel pulley 342. The belt may be attached directly or its route may be arranged in a downward direction of a third pulley (not shown) 46 201200202 on the rear side of the flywheel 332. The third pulley train is arranged to drop the belt in the orientation of the 'lower profile'. The side cable on the right side arranges the route in the same way as the left side. The flywheel of Figure 43 has a smaller diameter than the flywheel of Figure 42 but has a greater thickness than the flywheel of Figure 42. Furthermore, the flywheel of Figure 43 is supported on a common axle 344; therefore, it is possible to rotate the two flywheels by means of only one axle pulley 328 and one cable 340 connecting the axle pulley to one of the flywheel pulleys 342 . As with the other flywheel embodiments discussed above, the flywheels of Figures 42 and 43 are operatively coupled to the pedaling belt of each pedal. When the user begins to walk on the belts 18 (assuming The flywheels are not rotating, and the orbiting rollers begin to rotate, causing the flywheels 322 to begin to rotate by the slow/pulley device that couples the rear axles 82 to the flywheels. When the angular momentum is generated by the rotation, the flywheel 372 is coupled back to the pedals in the same manner to cause the pedals to rotate. Figure 44 shows another alternative arrangement for attaching a flywheel 332 to the tread belt 18. In this example, the axle pulleys (326' 328) are again coupled to each end of the rear axle 82. An intermediate axle 346 is disposed forward of the frame below the pedals (12A, 12B). Flywheel pulleys (348A, 348B, 348C) are attached to each end of the intermediate axle 346 and at the 'intermediate region' of the intermediate axle. A belt 350 is fastened between the pulley of each axle and the respective flywheel pulley. The flywheel 322 is rotatably supported in a vertical orientation at a front cylinder 352. The flywheel pulley 348B at the intermediate section of the intermediate axle 47 201200202 is coupled to the flywheel by a third belt; Figure 45 shows another alternative configuration for attaching a flywheel 322 to the tread belt 18. As with the embodiment of Fig. 41, the flywheel is supported in a rotating manner in the horizontal plane below the pedal. Moreover, as with the other embodiments discussed above, axle pulleys (326, 328) are coupled to each end of the rear axle 82. Much like the embodiment of Fig. 44, an intermediate axle 346 is provided between the outer frame members just in front of the rear axle. A flywheel pulley (348A, 348B, 348C) is provided at either end of the intermediate axle and at an intermediate region of the axle. The outer flywheel pulleys may be on the inside or outside of the frame members for alignment with the axle pulleys. A belt 35 is used to connect the wheel pulleys to the flywheel pulleys. In addition, a belt 354 that can be partially twisted connects the intermediate flywheel pulley 348B with the flywheel 322. Among the configurations shown, the backward belt movement with the forward step causes the flywheel to rotate clockwise. If the belt between the intermediate pulley and the flywheel pulley is twisted in the opposite manner, the flywheel will rotate counterclockwise. As with other embodiments, the angular momentum from the flywheel can apply a driving force to the tread belts. Some embodiments of the exercise device 10 with the pedal assembly also have an individual rear roller that uses two motors to rotate the rear rollers. Two motors are used to rotate the rear rollers. These motors must be synchronized to some extent. Figure 46 is a schematic diagram of a roller drive system 356 for use in a fitness device that uses a 201200202 early motor 358 to rotate the double pedal of the current p^7 square roller. on. Rotating the two rear rollers with a single 黾诖Λ^^^π^" eliminates the need to synchronize the two motors and reduces the associated manufacturing costs and complexity. According to the method of the embodiment, each pedal assembly (12Α, 12 Β) includes a rear roller that is smashed and opened, and is rotatably supported on the frame.徜*, go to the motor shaft # 360 system runs through the horse and has a drive pulley (362Α, 362Β) connected to the opposite end parts. Each drive pulley (362Α, 362Β) is via a belt (366Α 366Β) Linked to an individual driven pulley (, each of the 364Bh driven pulleys is connected or slidably connected in an operative manner to each of the pedals. Thus, the driven pulley can be directly connected The rear of the frame structure (4) is recorded either directly connected to the end of the axle 82 extending outside the frame structure, or in other manners. When the motor rotates the shaft, the material drive pulley is actuated the belt And the skin The driven pulley is rotated to rotate the two separate rear rollers. The rear rollers (four) thus drive the continuous belt on each pedal.
