Abstract
An exercise device for exercising the muscles of the human body generally includes a tension cable having a distal end and a proximal end, a harness disposed at the distal end of the tension cable, and a body support, wherein the tension cable is slidably disposed within an opening in the body support, the opening extending from a distal end of the body support to a proximal end of the body support. The device may also include an anchor at the proximal end of the tension cable. Further, the exercise device may include an adjustment member removably affixed to the tension cable in a position relative to the body support.

A device for exercising the muscles of the human body comprising:
- a tension cable having a distal end and a proximal end;
- a harness disposed at said distal end of said tension cable;
- and
- a body support, wherein said tension cable is slidably disposed within an opening in said body support, said opening extending from a distal end of said body support to a proximal end of said body support.
A device for exercising the muscles of the human body comprising:
- a tension cable having a distal end and a proximal end, wherein said tension cable has elastic properties;
- a harness disposed at said distal end of said tension cable;
- an anchor disposed at said proximal end of said tension cable;
- and
- a body support, wherein said tension cable is slidably disposed within an opening in said body support, said opening extending from a distal end of said body support to a proximal end of said body support.
A method of exercising the muscles of the human body comprising:
- providing a device comprising a tension cable having a distal end and a proximal end, wherein said tension cable has elastic properties;
- a harness disposed at said distal end of said tension cable;
- and
- a body support, wherein said tension cable is slidably disposed within an opening in said body support, said opening extending from a distal end of said body support to a proximal end of said body support;
- positioning a user in a kneeling position;
- placing the body support of the exercise device under a knee of the user and placing the harness around a foot of a user;
- using the user's weight on the body support to hold the tension cable in place while the exercise device is in use;
- extending the foot of the user from the kneeling position to an extended position behind the user.
