Abstract: A portable, readily storable, exercise system has a workout station which includes a rigid backing member having a top surface, a bottom surface, and opposed ends. A plurality of handle sections, each having at least one gripping portion, are configured to be attached at the opposed ends of the rigid backing member, and a cushion is configured to be attached to the top surface of the rigid backing member and disposed between the handle sections. The exercise system may also include resistance bands that may connect to the workout station to supplement various exercise techniques. Further, a free weight bar may be used for exercises and at times it may be used in conjunction with the resistance bands. The exercise system is a compact design and may partially disassemble thereby enabling users to have convenient portability and storage.
