Abstract
An exercising device includes a hand operated member pivoted to a mounting frame and connected to a first coupler member which proceeds with a first reciprocating movement, and a lever member pivoted to the frame and connected to a second coupler member which proceeds with a second reciprocating movement. The second coupler member has a rear coupling end on which a motion guiding member, that is in slidable contact with the first coupler member, is mounted. A crank member is pivoted to a rear coupling end of the first coupler member. A synchronizing member is disposed to couple the hand operated member with the lever member such that the first and second reciprocating movements are synchronized, thereby rendering the second coupler member to run along an elliptical path.
