Wearable and detachable exercise accessory

Abstract

A highly portable exercise device utilizing resistance bands is provided. The exercise device includes two ends, each end with a gripping component and latching mechanism. The latching mechanism comprising two magnets, wherein each magnet is secured to opposing ends of the device. A user can thereby hold one end of the exercise device in one hand and secure the other end of the device in either the other hand or against a surface. The user can move his or her body to create tension in the exercise device allowing the user to perform a plurality of different exercises by applying a force to intended muscles.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes different ways to exercise and train muscles. Exercises can be done using machines, free weights or body weight. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, and a combination of them can be used to achieve the desired results. However, training with weights offers the benefits of both weight training and body weight training, while training with body weight offers the benefits of weight training and allows for training in a more naturalistic way. The patent also introduces a wearable and portable resistance device that can be used in a confined space and provides the benefits of weight training and body weight training. The device provides users with the opportunity to work out more frequently with less setup time and takes up less physical space.

Problems solved by technology

However, machines do not train complete human movement patterns and neglect smaller stabilizing muscles around joints, which can run the risk of chronic injury and poor posture.

However, free weights take some skill to learn proper techniques, run the risk of injury if done improperly, and require the use of a spotter to list heavy weights in some circumstances.

A person can simply add more weights to a bar to increase the difficulty of a bench press.
