An adjustable, recoiling aerobic exercise bench (20) which reduces the generation and transmission of impaction forces on a user\s joints while performing conventional and power step exercises including a resilient platform (22) slidingly disposed in a left and right housings (36 and 38) which function to support the platform (22) above and relative to an exercise floor surface (42); a lateral platform recoiling assemblies is disposed between the platform ends (24 and 26) and inside lateral walls of the housings (36, 38) and adapted to generate lateral, resistive, restoring forces when platform (22) is moved downward during operation of the device (20); vertical platform recoiling assemblies (62), which includes a plurality of rigid tubular spring retainers, telescoping springs (90) mounted the undersurface of the platform and of sufficient length so as to make contact with the exercise floor surface (42) to thereby generate a vertical platform resistive restoring force when platform (22) is downwardly compressed.
