Abstract
An apparatus for human exercise in certain configurations includes a first foot pad attached to a first guided carrier member. A first curved guide rail is coupled to the first guided carrier member. The first curved guide rail prevents motion of the first guided carrier member except for translation along the first curved guide rail. A weight stack includes a first plurality of weights coupled to a first cable. The first cable is also coupled to the first foot pad. A tension in the first cable may oppose a translation of the first foot pad along the first curved guide rail. A stationary foot platform is fixed to the apparatus between the first curved guide rail and the weight stack. The first curved guide rail is curved away from an underlying ground plane, to define a rail height that decreases towards the stationary foot platform.
