LEG STRENGTHENING SYSTEM
According to some embodiments, a leg strengthening system is disclosed. The leg strengthening system comprises a knee strap, one or more resistance bands to be removably coupled to the knee strap, and a foot attachment. The foot attachment and the knee strap are to be removably coupled to the one or more resistance bands.
Athletes, such as, but not limited to, dancers, are born with a particular range of motion in their legs and ankles. The art of dancing requires dancers to have superior strength, endurance and range of motion in their legs and ankles. Young dancers need to exercise their legs and ankles to achieve the desired strength to improve their ability to perform at his/her best. Therefore, a strengthening tool to help dancers is desired.
SUMMARYSome embodiments described herein relate to a leg strengthening system. The leg strengthening system comprises a knee strap and a foot attachment. One or more resistance bands are removably coupled to the knee strap and the foot attachment.
In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the embodiments.
The present embodiments described herein relate to a leg strengthening system that comprises a knee strap, one or more resistance bands and a foot attachment. Each of the one or more resistance bands comprise attachment clips at both ends to be removably coupled to the knee strap and the foot attachment. The present embodiments may facilitate an athlete, such as, but not limited to, a dancer, to apply varied levels of resistance to the knee strap/foot attachment to create hands free strengthening resistance.
