Benefits of technology

[0010] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide an elliptical exercising apparatus that can permit full movement of the user's legs during exercise and that can permit adjustment of a striding distance so as to correspond to the different exercise requirements of each user.

Problems solved by technology

As such, the user's leg muscles can not be fully exercised, thereby limiting the effectiveness of the conventional elliptical exercising apparatus.
If the length of each crank member 122 is increased so as to obtain a larger striding distance, the volume of the conventional elliptical exercising apparatus is also increased, thereby making storage, transport, and rearrangement of the position of the apparatus inconvenient.
