Abstract: A pendulum jump rope for use in confined spaces is described; wherein this pendulum jump rope operates in back and forth pendulum motion such that a flexible elongate member of the pendulum jump rope never has to pass above a user's waist. In some embodiments, the pendulum jump rope may comprise a pair of principal elongate-members; and the flexible elongate-member; wherein the flexible elongate-member may join one of the principal elongate-members to the other principal elongate-member. Free ends of the pair of principal elongate-members may be grasped as handles by the user. Each of the principal elongate-members may also have a joint that is flexible but also resilient; wherein these joints may contribute to the pendulum motion of the flexible elongate member.

Abstract: A pair of straps or a single strap attaches to the top of a towel portion. The ends of the straps or single strap extend around a user and are tied together. Each strap end has an enlarged end that is between the user's legs to act as a sight barrier to block view inside the user's shorts. If two straps are used, they can be sewn to the towel portion, but a single strap could attach by a releasable fastener so that the strap could stay on the users though the user's removes the towel. Pockets on the towel body, straps or connections between the straps and towel body can hold personal objects.
