Abstract
A walking exerciser includes a treadmill body, and a threaded rod which can be driven by a driving unit to extend from or withdraw into a movable tube. When the treadmill body is disposed at a horizontal position, the threaded rod is in a withdrawn position. Extension of the threaded rod turns the treadmill body from the horizontal position to a first inclined position, where a front section of the treadmill body is disposed higher than a rear section of the treadmill body. Withdrawal of the threaded rod relative to the tube turns the treadmill body from the first inclined position to a second inclined position, where the rear section of the treadmill body is disposed higher than the front section of the treadmill body. Then, the treadmill body can be turned to a vertical position by extending and subsequently withdrawing the threaded rod relative to the tube.
