An exercise device employing side-by-side pivotally supported moving
surfaces. In one particular example, an exercise device employs a first
belt deployed about a front roller and a rear roller and an adjacent
second belt deployed about a front roller and a rear roller. The rear of
the belts in the area of the rear rollers are pivotally secured and the
front of the belts in the area of the front roller are adapted to
reciprocate in an up and down motion during use. In some implementations,
the moving surfaces include an interconnection structure such that a
generally downward movement of one surface is coordinated with a
generally upward movement of the other surface. In other implementations,
the moving surfaces are operably associated with one or more resistance
elements that effect the amount of force required to pivot or actuate the
moving surfaces.
