Abstract
An exercise device that simulates a striding action includes a base. Four linkages support two independently swingable side-by-side foot platforms from spaced apart front and rear supports secured to uprights that are connected to the base. The front and rear supports are positioned with respect to the foot platforms to substantially match the swing length of a person's leg. The distance between the front and rear supports is less than the distance between the front and rear pivots on the foot platforms. Outwardly extending handles are integral with the foot platforms and are spaced farther apart than the distance between the foot platforms. The rear of each foot platform is slightly elevated with respect to its front.
