Abstract
An elliptical trainer with a variable track is disclosed. The elliptical trainer has a base, a left and a right linkage, a transmission and a left and a right adjusting assembly. The linkages are connected to an upright posts extending upward from the base, respectively. Each of the linkages includes a pedal set configured to slide with respect to the linkage. The transmission deposited on the upright post drives the pedal sets to perform reciprocal elliptical motions. The adjusting assemblies are pivotally connected to the upright post, respectively, and serve to change an elliptical track along which the pedals move. Thereby, the elliptical track varies by expanding or retracting along only a major axis thereof. When using the elliptical trainer, a user will not need to step higher as the elliptical track expands. This design is more ergonomic and adaptive to users with various body heights and habitus.
