A non-impact exercise device comprising a framework, at least one ramp
assembly, a pair of foot support assemblies, a foot location control
assembly, and means for adjusting the maximum stride length of the foot
support assemblies. The foot support assemblies may advantageously be
coupled to the foot location control assembly by a flexible cable
linkage. The foot support assemblies each include a foot platform for the
user to stand on. The foot support assemblies are coupled to the one or
more ramp assemblies of the exercise device. The user exercises by
putting force into the device through the foot platforms and/or handles.
This causes the foot platforms to roll along the ramps while the user is
standing upon the foot platforms. The user may readily vary the length
and frequency of the reciprocating stride.
