Abstract: A step exercise apparatus having a rectangular step structure having a flat upper surface, a pair of end walls, a pair of side walls, a perimeter, and an inset ledge having an upward facing surface circumferentially disposed around the flat upper surface. A series of hooks each having an upward-facing hook opening is disposed around the perimeter adjacent the upward facing surface of the ledge. In addition, a series of hooks each having a downward-facing hook opening is disposed around the perimeter adjacent the bottom edge. The hooks having an upward-facing hook opening are interspersed with the said hooks having a downward-facing hook opening. An elastic member may be threaded through adjacent hooks with upper and lower hooks forming a serpentine path. Ends of the elastic member may be equipped with handles and may be directed upwardly from any of the lower hooks.
