An multimodal exercise device that is compact and designed for low impact therapeutic exercise allowing for multiple modes of motion for exercising or improving a user's circulation when the user places his or her feet or hands on the device's contact elements and moves them in at least one of the modes of motion. The device is preferentially used while the user is seated and can accommodate exercise in situations where exercise is not traditionally accomplished, such as at a desk, or while traveling in a plane, train, or automobile. The device includes a base, a stand, a connector, a beam, and two contact elements, configured in such a manner as to allow multiple modes of motion. Modes of motion include, but are not limited to, sliding, stepping, and cycling.
