Abstract

An exercising device includes left and right linking units each having a swing link pivotally mounted on a front support of a frame, a crank link coupling a crank arm to the swing link, and a pedal link connected to a lower end of the swing link, and left and right foot engaging pedals each mounted on a rear linkage end of the pedal link to be movable along an elliptical path with rotation of the crank arms. A sloping ramp member has an inclined surface to guide the foot engaging pedals to simulate stair climbing during the elliptical movement of the foot engaging pedals through left and right rollable anti-friction members mounted under the foot engaging pedals and rollably engaged with the inclined surface.
