Abstract: A striding exerciser comprising a frame having a base adapted to be supported on a horizontal surface and a pair of spaced upright supports each secured to and extending upwardly from the base. A pair of stride assemblies are each mounted to the frame and each includes a leg member and an arm member, arranged to pivot about a respective first and second pivot axis. A first mechanism is provided for interconnecting the leg member and the arm member within each stride assemblies for concurrent pivoting movement in the same angular direction about their respective pivot axes and a second mechanism is provided for interconnecting the pair of stride assemblies for concurrent pivoting movement in opposite angular directions about the pivot axes.
