Total body exercise methods and apparatus
Abstract:
An exercise apparatus includes a frame, a footpad for supporting a user's foot, and a sensor that generates a force indicating signal indicative of a force applied to the footpad in a horizontal direction by the user's foot. A mechanism couples the footpad to the frame and guides the footpad in a closed path having at least first and second mutually perpendicular dimensions in response to forces applied to the footpad by the user's foot, the first dimension being parallel to said horizontal direction. The mechanism resists movement of the footpad in the horizontal direction in response to an electrical control signal supplied as input to the mechanism. A control system receives the force indicating signal and generates the control signal such that the mechanism resists movement depending on the force indicated by the force indicating signal.
