Abstract: A universal exercise band retaining device includes a body formed of a continuous section of material. The material is selectively bent to form an attachment eyelet from which a retaining hook section extends. In use, two retaining devices are utilized, such that the ends of an exercise bar extend through the eyelets. The attachment of the retaining devices to an exercise bar allows an exercise band to be attached to the hook sections of the retaining device. Curved stops terminate the ends of a capture section that retains the exercise band to the retaining device. This prevents the exercise band from slipping off the retaining device during use, without imparting any chaffing to the material of the exercise band, thereby extending the operating life and reducing the potential for failure of the exercise band.

Abstract: An exercise platform for use with a resilient exercise band includes a body formed of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. The exercise platform includes a pair of intersecting channels one side and a support surface on another side upon which a user stands. When the platform is in use, the channels are spaced away from a floor surface, and are dimensioned to allow a portion of the exercise band to be retained therein, as the user performs an exercise movement employing the exercise band while he or she stands on the platform.

Abstract: An exercise platform includes a pair of pivoting sections that include intersecting channels on one side and a support surface on another side upon which a user stands. When the platform is in use, the channels are spaced away from a floor surface and are dimensioned to allow a portion of an exercise band to be retained therein. Rollers provided by the platform allow the exercise band to move smoothly, as the user performs an exercise movement thereby reducing wear of the exercise band.
