Abstract: The Resistance Running System may include at least one glove worn on the user's hand with an anchor point on the palm of the glove. This anchor point connects to an elastic band with connecting links on both ends. The opposite end of the elastic band connects to at least one strap worn around a user's leg. The strap is tightened and fixed by the use of a buckle with use of a simple hook and loop fastener. An anchor point on the strap allows at least one end of the elastic band to connect to the strap worn on the user's leg.

Abstract: A retractable exercise band system is described. The retractable exercise band system may include at least one strap configured to be worn around a user's limb, a tube connected to the at least one strap and comprising a hollow interior, and an elastic band. The elastic band extends through the tube interior and may include a band top end connected to a handle configured to be grasped by a user's hand, and a band bottom end located below the tube bottom end. The retractable exercise band system is configured to remove from a collapsed position in which the handle is located a first distance from the tube top end to an extended position in which the handle is located a greater distance from the tube top end.
