  • Patent number: 6921357
    Abstract: A device for performing resistance exercises includes a non-elastic strap having a first end and a second end. The device includes a first stretchable member having a first end coupled to the non-elastic strap proximate the first end and a second stretchable member having a first end coupled to the non-elastic strap proximate the second end. The device includes a first adjusting mechanism disposed proximate the first end of the non-elastic strap and a second adjusting mechanism disposed proximate the second end of the non-elastic strap. The first and second adjusting mechanisms are manipulated to adjust the length of the non-elastic strap between the first and second stretchable members.

  • Patent number: 6837834
    Abstract: An exercise device to selectively exercise leg muscles. The exercise device comprises a waist portion, a rigid member attachable to the waist portion and an elastic strap attachable to the rigid member and a foot of a user. The rigid member is positionable about the waist member to position the elastic strap either along a forward portion of a leg or along a rearward portion of the leg. The elastic strap provides resistance of which can be varied by varying the length of the elastic strap.

  • Patent number: 4690402
    Abstract: Disclosed is an exercising device (10) for performing tension exercises. The invention comprises a central longitudinal strap (15), enclosed by a padded sheath (11), with elastic bands (13) and rubber grip members (12) on each end. The grip members (12) are compressible, and the elastic bands (13) provide elastic resistance for developing muscle strength. The length of the elastic bands (13) is easily adjustable, and bands (13) of different resistance can be substituted as desired.
