Disclosed is an exercise machine, and particularly a front or rear mount
elliptical or elliptical-type machine, comprising: (a) a support
structure; (b) a drive component pivotally coupled to the support
structure and configured to rotate about a first pivot axis; (c) a
reciprocating foot support configured to travel about a closed path
having a stride length upon rotation of the drive component; (d) a
coupling configuration configured to support the reciprocating foot
support about the drive component at a position radially offset from the
first pivot axis, the coupling configuration pivotally coupled to the
drive component about a second pivot axis; and (e) an adjustment
mechanism configured to enable the coupling configuration to pivot about
the second pivot axis between at least two adjustment positions to vary
the radial offset of the reciprocating foot support with respect to the
first pivot axis.
