Flexibility and Fitness Increasing Apparatus

Abstract

A flexibility and fitness increasing apparatus allows the user to stretch various muscles as if they are assisted by a partner. The flexibility and fitness increasing apparatus includes at least one foot support, at least one fastening strap, and an anchor. The anchor is opposite the at least one foot support along the at least one fastening strap. The anchor is fixed to a support during the implementation of the flexibility and fitness increasing apparatus such that the user can stretch effectively, unaided, and in a controlled fashion. The at least one fastening strap is adjustably connected to the at least one foot support through a securing buckle of the at least one foot support such that the length between the anchor and the at least on foot support is variable. The user increases the tension on the at least one fastening strap to effectively stretch their muscles.
