Abstract
Training devices having at least two elastic members connected to a respective end of an inelastic member are disclosed. The training devices comprise first and second handles coupled to a respective one of the two elastic members. The training devices may be used to add various strength training modalities to a cardiovascular workout or fitness regimen. The training device may be provided in the form of a kit including elastic and inelastic members having differing elasticities, lengths, and widths and including removable handles, potentially of differing types.
Claims21
A training device for exercising, the training device comprising:
- a first handle having a first connection end;
- a second handle having a second connection end;
- a first elastic member having opposing ends, one of the opposing ends of the first elastic member removably coupled to the first connection end;
- a second elastic member having opposing ends, one of the opposing ends of the second elastic member removably coupled to the second connection end;
- and
- an intermediate member having opposing ends, a first end of the opposing ends of the intermediate member removably coupled to the other of the opposing ends of the first elastic member, and a second end of the opposing ends of the intermediate member removably coupled to the other of the opposing ends of the second elastic member,
- wherein a first substantially uniform thickness between a portion of the first connection end and a portion of the first end of the intermediate member is substantially equivalent to a second substantially uniform thickness between a portion of the second connection end and a portion of the second end of the intermediate member, and
- wherein a third substantially uniform thickness between the first and second ends of the intermediate member is less than the first and second substantially uniform thicknesses.

A training device for exercising, the training device comprising:
- a first handle having a first connection end;
- a second handle having a second connection end;
- a first pair of elastic members each having opposing first and second ends, the first ends removably coupled to the first and second connection ends, respectively;
- a first intermediate member having opposing first and second ends removably coupled to the second ends of the first pair of elastic members, respectively,
- wherein a first substantially uniform thickness between a portion of the first connection end and a portion of the first end of the first intermediate member is substantially equivalent to a second substantially uniform thickness between a portion of the second connection end and a portion of the second end of the first intermediate member,
- wherein a third substantially uniform thickness between the first and second ends of the first intermediate member is less than the first and second substantially uniform thicknesses, and
- wherein each of the first and second ends of the first intermediate member is removably couplable to either of the first and second ends of each of the first pair of elastic members.
