Abstract: A Portable General Purpose Exercise Device which functions as a small, lightweight, inexpensive exercise device for use by a human being. This device comprises an inner section of handles which is allowed to slide along an outer section of handles. The two sections of handles are predetermined to be shaped and or otherwise configured for gripping and engaging human body parts. A stretchable means for resistance is interconnected between the two handle sections. When the exerciser moves the handle sections relative to one another both pushing and pulling exercises can be preformed on the same unit by varying the choice of handles gripped and the direction of the force exerted on the chosen handle. This allows the many different sized and configured muscle groups in the human body to be exercised.
