Abstract: A adjustable resistance band assembly for providing resistive force during the performance of an exercise. The adjustable resistance band assembly includes a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween. First and second resilient members are provided. An adjustment assembly enables a user to selectively engage the first or first and second resilient members to adjust the resistive force provided for performance of an exercise.

Abstract: A method of varying a resistive force applied by exercise equipment including providing a resistance band assembly for providing resistive force during the performance of an exercise. The resistance band assembly includes a housing having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween. A bore is defined in the housing and a connector is provided in the bore. The connector includes first and second surfaces and a hole is defined in the connector and extends between the surfaces. A disc is also provided in the bore and also has a first and second surface. An aperture is defined in the disc and extends between the first and second surfaces thereof. A first and second resilient member is provided and these resilient members are selectively engageable with the resistance band assembly to provide a first resistive force during the performance of an exercise.
