A stepping exerciser including a base frame, an upper support, a stepping device, a front stem, a rear seat stem and a damper. When two pedal levers of the stepping device are alternately stepped up and down, the pushing arms under the pivot tubes of the pedal levers drive the linkages to alternately swing back and forth. At this time, the driving rods under two sides of the rotary discs are driven to rotate the rotary disc. Responsively, the handle bar connected with upper end of the front stem connected with the rotary disc are alternately swung left and right. Accordingly, the feet of a user alternately step on the pedals to a large extent and simultaneously, the waist and hands of the user correspondingly act to achieve an exercising effect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a stepping exerciser by which the feet of a user can alternately step on two pedals to a large extent and simultaneously the waist alternately twisted left and right and both hands of the user are moved back and forth to a large extent.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a stepping exerciser in which the handle bar, front stem, rear seat stem and the front beam can be disassembled so as to save space and facilitate the storage and transferring.
It is still a farther object of the present invention to provide a stepping exerciser in which the heights of the handle stem and the paddle can be adjusted to meet the requirements of different users.
According to the above objects, the stepping exerciser of the present invention includes a base frame, an upper support, a stepping device, a front stem, a rear seat stem and a damper.
The base frame includes a main beam and a front beam.
A rotary disc is disposed at front end of the base frame.
The rotary disc is disposed with a locating column.
The upper support is disposed on the main beam of the base frame for pivotally connecting with the stepping device.
The stepping device includes two pedals connected with the rotary disc by a linkage mechanism, whereby by means of stepping on the pedals up and down, the linkage mechanism is driven to drive the rotary disc to rotate.
The front stem is pivotally connected with the locating column of the rotary disc.
A top end of the front stem is disposed with a handle stem.
The rear seat stem is disposed at a rear end of the base frame.
A top end of the rear seat stem is disposed with a paddle.
By means of stepping on the pedals, the linkage mechanism drives the rotary disc to rotate, whereby the front stem and handle stem are swung so as to exercise the feet, waist and hands of a user to a great extent.
The present invention can be best understood through the following description and accompanying drawings, wherein:
