Abstract

This invention relates to a top weighted shock absorption structure for jogging machines. The principal element of the invention is the location of a curved linked component on each side of the jogging machine frame. A flexible shock absorption unit is located at the back end of the linked component shock absorption infrastructure where the shock absorption unit is set firmly against the upper face of the block pad located inside the base structure. The function of the flexible shock absorption units and block pads effectively reduce shock to the frame during machine use.
