Embodiment Construction

[0047] Referring now to the embodiment shown in Figures 1-7, wherein like reference numerals are used to identify like parts throughout.

[0048] The apparatus made according to the invention comprises a three-dimensional, substantially hollow housing 10 and means for resisting force exerted by the user during exercise. In a preferred embodiment, the means for resisting force comprises one or more elastic members or stretchable strips (hereinafter "strips"), each generally indicated at 30 . In the following description, the term "nearest" refers to the end of the strap closest to the user in a device made according to the invention. The term "furthest" refers to the other end of the strap, which is firmly and securely attached to the housing 10 as described hereinafter.

[0049] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , in the preferred embodiment, housing 10 includes a top 50 and a bottom 52 . The top 50 and bottom 52 are firmly and fixedly joined together through the use of mechanical m...

Abstract

An exercise apparatus that provides easily and quickly adjustable resistive forces during a wide variety of fitness-related activities. The apparatus comprises a housing having an internal space wherein multiple resilient members, such as elastic cords or stretchable bands, are fully contained while in a rest state; an attachment point where each resilient member is securely affixed to the housing; and an aperture located substantially opposite the attachment point, through which resilient members are accessible, and to which a handle assembly is removably attached. A user may selectably attach the handle assembly to one or several resilient members in order to select the desired resistive force. Because resilient members are fully contained within the housing when in a rest state, the resilient members exert a resistive force immediately upon being extended from the aperture in the housing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to training equipment, and more particularly to a training equipment that can be used individually for a series of circuit training exercises performed through the selective or sequential use of one or more of a plurality of resistance assemblies, these The resistance assemblies are anchored on one side of the three-dimensional housing and from that side move across the opposite side of the housing so that they are accessible through slots on the opposite side of the housing. Background technique [0002] Many current fitness programs combine resistance strength training and aerobic training at the same time. Combining aerobic and anaerobic training elements to stimulate participants' cardiovascular, muscular and skeletal systems, delivering dramatic results in a short period of time. This form of training is commonly referred to as circuit training. Originating in the 1950s, circuit training has been used to t...
