Abstract
The present disclosure provides a resistance band apparatus which overcomes the problems traditionally associated with resistance training—time consuming resistance changes during the same exercise, time consuming adjustments between different exercises, and non-uniform resistance through the exercise motion depending on the height and limb length of the person—by incorporating multiple bands of different resistances into a single apparatus and the bands can be engaged or disengaged from contributing towards the total resistance provided during an exercise.
Claims14
A resistance band apparatus, comprising:
- a handle;
- a resistance band holder coupled to the handle, the resistance band holder having a plurality of openings of a first diameter formed therein, each configured to receive and hold a resistance band;
- a number of resistance bands corresponding to the plurality of openings, each resistance band comprising a length of elastic material having bulbed ends, the bulbed ends having a second diameter greater than the first diameter;
- a band support housing, the band support housing comprising a hollow body having a first open end and a second closed end, the second closed end having an opening through which a coupling element is threaded-, the housing further comprising a locking element within at a fixed point along the length of the body, the locking element having a corresponding number of openings of a diameter smaller than the second diameter, and thereby each opening being configured to receive and lock a bulbed end of a respective resistance band within the housing between the second closed end and the locking element;
- a carabiner coupled to the locking element via the coupling element threaded through the opening of the band support housing;
- and
- a length of webbing having one or more D-rings disposed along its length to couple to the carabiner, each D-ring having a corresponding label.
