This is a stationary exercise apparatus capable of more accurately representing body motion associated with walking and running. The apparatus includes an inertia system which enables the apparatus to accelerate each reciprocating pedal up to a predetermined velocity. In this manner, the exercise workout is more natural since the user only has to expend energy normally associated with walking or running and not the operation of the apparatus.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A stationery exercising apparatus comprising:a frame;first and second longitudinal rails attached to at least a portion of the frame;first and second travelers, said first traveler movably engageable to said first rail and said second traveler movably engageable to said second rail;an inertia drive assembly proximate one end of said first and second rails; andmeans for engaging said first and second travelers with said inertia drive assembly,wherein as each said first and second traveler initially advances rearwardly or forwardly, said inertia drive assembly accelerates each said traveler up to a predetermined velocity without the user having to exert additional force to accelerate said travelers up to said predetermined velocity.
