Benefits of technology
The invention is an exercise belt that can be used while walking or jogging to build arm and upper body strength. It is also useful for rehabilitation and elderly people who need to exercise regularly. The belt has a plurality of docking stations and a resistance handle component with a retractable line. The resistance handle component can be detached from the docking station for adjustable sizing and varying exercise angles. The technical effect of the invention is that it provides a convenient and adjustable way to exercise the arms and upper body while walking or running.
Problems solved by technology
For a person desiring to exercise his upper body or arms while walking or jogging, over-the-door and furniture-attached equipment are obviously unsuitable.
Dumb bells and chest expanders are inconvenient for a person walking or jogging because, as the person continues walking or jogging after the upper body or arm exercises are completed, such equipment must still be carried in the person's hand or hands.
Even so, walking or jogging with dumb bells or a chest expander on a belt would not typically be comfortable.
The retractor does not rotate relative to the belt, thereby subjecting the line and retractor to friction and stress.

Embodiment Construction
[0017]The preferred embodiment of the invention are illustrated in the attached drawings which are referred to herein. The same reference numeral will be used to identify identical elements throughout the drawings.
[0018]The invention is an exercise belt that includes at least one, and preferably two, resistance handle components detachably connected to it.
[0019]As shown in FIG. 1, the exercise belt 10 includes a belt 12 and two resistance handle components 20.
[0020]Belt 12 is similar to lumbar support belts that are available from many commercial suppliers. Like many lumbar support belts, belt 12 includes hook-and-loop fastener 14 and 16 at its ends. (Fastener portion 14 is shown in phantom lines because the drawings show the outside of the exercise belt and fastener portion 14 is affixed to the inside of the belt—that is, the side of the belt that faces the wearer when in use.) Either or both of fastener portions 14 and 16 is sufficiently large to allow the belt to be adjusted for ...

An exercise belt is disclosed a belt with a plurality of docking stations and at least one resistance handle component. The resistance handle component includes a line connected at one end to a handle and at the other end to a retractor. The line is substantially completely retracted into the retractor unless being affirmatively pulled from it. Each resistance handle component is detachably connected to a docking station. Multiple docking stations allow for adjustable sizing of the belt and varying exercising angles. The resistance handle component's being detachably connected to a docking station contributes to the adjustable sizing, and allows for replacing one resistance handle component with another resistance handle component having a higher resistance.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This invention relates to the field of exercise and rehabilitation equipment.[0003]2. Prior Art[0004]Portable and light-weight upper body and arm strength developing equipment such as (i) low-weight dumb bells, (ii) chest expanders, with resistance bands, or coil springs disposed between hand grips and (iii) over-the-door or furniture-attached exercise equipment, also with resistance bands or coil springs, these with an attachment means at one end and a hand grip at the other, exist in the prior art.[0005]While these are portable, they are conveniently useful only when the user remains in one place. For a person desiring to exercise his upper body or arms while walking or jogging, over-the-door and furniture-attached equipment are obviously unsuitable. Dumb bells and chest expanders are inconvenient for a person walking or jogging because, as the person continues walking or jogging after the upper body or arm exercises ...
