    Abstract: Various systems for exercise equipment are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a system may include a board that includes a first pair of hooks extending from one end of the board and a second pair of hooks extending from the second end of the board. The system may also include an exercise band that includes one or more bulges located at one end of the band, such that a bulge anchors the band to a pair of hooks.
