Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure involve an exercise device including a base member, a pair of tower members, and a strap. The base member includes a substantially planar bottom surface, a top surface opposite the bottom surface, and an opening extending through the top and bottom surfaces. The pair of tower members extends upward from opposite ends of the top surface of the base member. The strap releasably secures to each of the pair of tower members at a chosen height and with a chosen amount of slack. The strap includes a handle positioned between a first end and a second end of the strap, wherein the chosen amount of slack of the strap is adjustable by coupling the strap to each of the pair of tower members at different positions on the strap.

A device for supporting and suspending a body part above a floor, the device comprising:

a unitary structure comprising:
a base member configured to be supported on the floor and comprising a first end and a second end opposite the first end;
a first tower member coupled to and extending upwards from the first end of the base member;
and
a second tower member coupled to and extending upwards from the second end of the base member, the second tower member being spaced apart from the first tower member;
and
a pliable strap suspended over at least a portion of the base member and between the first and second tower members, the pliable strap configured to support the body part above the floor;
and
a first and a second pin member, wherein the pliable strap comprises a plurality of through holes and is configured to be locked in position via:
the first pin member being removably secured within a first opening on a top portion of the first tower member and through a first through hole of the plurality of through holes;
and the second pin member being removably secured within a second opening on a top portion of the second tower member and through a second through hole of the plurality of through holes.
