Abstract
An integrated system of straps that is used for exercise and activity. The straps are gathered at a waist band that is sewn into a garment, and the straps wrap around the waist and the buttocks of a person. The straps are attached to the garment by sewing, and the straps exit the garment through pockets, that can be used to stow the straps when not in use. The system offers a comfortable tethering system, while wearing a fashionable, athletic outfit. The system is used for centralized, balanced pulling or towing from the front center or back center of the person's midsection. The system is applicable to any sports activity that is appropriate for tethering to a moving animal or object, and also, for pulling an object such as a sled.
