  • Publication number: 20050255976
    Abstract: A handgrip is modified to have a tethering window cut through one of its upright prongs so that the stem of an impinger can be extended through it to anchor the impinger at the outside portion of the handgrip. Anchoring is accomplished either by the extension of the impinger's tether pegs into sockets or apertures or by trapping the tether within a channel formed there. Once anchored, the impinger's head is positioned within the handgrip's cord tunnel where it becomes forced against stretchable or non-stretchable exercise media including stretchable exercise sheet. Alternatively, anchoring may be accomplished at the inside portion of the handgrip by forming a retention channel there.
