Abstract: A stationary exercise device includes a pair of poles having an upper end rotatably secured to a base at a pivot rod and a pair of brackets slidably engaged on the poles for allowing the brackets to be moved up and down along the poles and to be rotated about the pivot rod. A pair of foot supports are secured to the brackets and moved in concert with the brackets. A crank is rotatably secured to the base and coupled to the foot supports for rotating the foot supports about the pivot rod and for moving the foot supports up and down along the poles such that the foot supports may be caused to move along an elliptical path. A pair of handles are secured to the brackets for supporting the upper portion of the user.
