1. An item of exercise equipment, comprising:
a frame configured to support a user;
a user input arrangement movably mounted to the frame for enabling a user to apply input forces during exercise;
a support arrangement with which the frame is engaged and that supports the frame above a support surface, wherein the support arrangement is configured to provide movement of the frame in a fore-aft direction in response to input forces applied to the frame by the user, wherein the support arrangement is further configured to provide tilting movement of the frame about a tilt axis that extends primarily in the fore-aft direction; and
a neutral biasing arrangement for biasing the frame toward a fore-aft neutral position and a tilting neutral position,
wherein the frame is engaged with the support arrangement via engagement of a roller and track arrangement, wherein the roller and track arrangement provides fore-aft movement of the frame relative to the support arrangement.
