PORTABLE ELASTIC RESISTANCE DEVICE FOR EXERCISING THE SKELETAL MUSCLES

摘要

The invention consists of a flexible hexagonal array composed of rigid plastic rings, sized and shaped for convenient gripping with the hands, and or pinning against floor or wall by other body parts (feet, knees, elbows, trunk, bead, etc.) each connected to 3 to 6 lengths of bungee, or equivalent elastic material, located at 60 degree intervals around the ring circumference. The array is sized for convenient use for exercise purposes, and is light enough to be readily portable, and, by virtue of its uniform stretch resistance properties, which vary with the number of strands being stretched, and the distance between gripping and/or pinning points, which controls the length of bungee being stretched, gives the opportunity of exercising all of the skeletal muscles, at a variety of resistance levels.
