Abstract
An exercise device includes a flexible support element (404, 406) and a step height adjustment mechanism (338). The flexible support element (404, 406) couples at least one crank (370) to a right foot support (360) and a left foot support (360). The step height adjustment mechanism (338) allows a person to adjust a step height of a path through which the left and right foot supports (360) move.
