Abstract: A portable exercise device for use in resistance training programs is provided, which can comprise: a hollow structure; multiple resistance bands, each shorter than the hollow structure; multiple anchor members for securing the resistance bands to the hollow structure; multiple attachable and detachable handles; wherein one end of each resistance band is coupled to an anchor; wherein an opposing end of each resistance band is operably configured for attachment to a handle; such that each resistance band is contained completely within the hollow structure during rest and is capable of extending outside the hollow structure during use when attached to a handle. Such devices can be used by attaching a handle to a resistance band at each end of the hollow bar, gripping the bar with hands, placing feet in the handles, and moving the bar away from the feet to create resistance in the bands thereby exercising the user's body.

Abstract: A rigid or semi-rigid tray is provided, including a bottom and at least one side wall which forms at least one recessed product-receiving compartment, and a flange extending around the tray which forms distal edges of the container. The tray further includes a lidding film affixed to the flange which forms a peelable heat-seal extending around the product-receiving compartment and the distal edges of the container, and an easy-open member positioned between the product-receiving compartment and the distal edges of the container. The easy-open member has a frangible portion of the lidding film which forms a tab member when punctured, for example by the force of a human finger, to provide a means for removing the lidding film from the flange and gaining access to the product-receiving compartment.
