Each exercise set includes arocker 12 connected to the post I1, acrank 14 connected to thewheel 13, akeel 15 arranged between therocker 12 andcrank 14 and atread 16 mounted on thekeel 15. An upper portion of therocker 12 is used as a handle. By treading thetreads 16 alternately, an exerciser moves atread 16 down and forward and theother tread 16 up and backward. This conventional treadmill however entails intensive stress in the exerciser as ankles since the tilting of thetreads 16 is large. Moreover, it causes the exerciser troubles in balancing since the vertical movement of thetreads 16 is large. Therockers 12 must be long so that the exerciser can hold them with his or her hands while treading thetreads 16. This renders the treadmill bulky. To reduce the vertical movement of thetreads 16, thekeels 15 could be extended. However, this would render the treadmill bulky. - There are devised conventional treadmills wherein the wheel is disposed on the front portion of the base, and the front end of each keel is connected to the wheel while the rear end of each keel is movable on a track. Such conventional treadmills are found in Taiwanese Patent Publication No. 429791 and Taiwanese Patent M262216. However, they also suffer the foregoing drawbacks.
