It also has a restraining device that allows the user to secure their hands and feet into separate devices. The apparatus can be adjusted to have different levels of friction with the surface. The invention also includes a series of exercise devices that can be worn by elastic cording for more restraining and strength training activities. The method involves using the apparatus for aerobic, strength building, and other conditioning activities that improve cardiovascular health and well-being.

Problems solved by technology

Most of these devices are not easily portable and are usually only found in professionally equipped gymnasiums and fitness centers.

However, most of these exercise elements are not easily used in a home setting.

Furthermore, many of these exercise devices are limited to focusing on a specific muscle group.

However, the prior art publication fails to disclose a customizable device that is suitable for a variety of exercises and circumstances.
