Abstract

A system for performing proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (“PNF”) stretching. The system includes a harness portion comprising a harness strap with movably attached buckle portions and a hook receptacle surrounding the harness strap to support the harness strap when the hook receptacle is suspended. The harness strap includes a mini-strap with buckle portions extending in parallel with the harness strap. The harness strap buckle portions mate with the mini-strap buckle portions to form a double loop harness configuration, and alternatively, combine with a single loop enabler to form a single loop harness configuration. An attachment strap is configured for attachment to a fixing structure by a movably attached hooking mechanism, which varies the distance between the attaching end of the attachment strap and the hooking mechanism. The harness portion attaches to the attachment strap attached to the fixing structure to provide a user with a body support while in un-balanced positions.

Claims17

Dependent claims

A body band system comprising:

a harness portion comprising a harness strap, and a hook receptacle configured to surround the harness strap to support the harness strap when the hook receptacle is suspended, the harness strap including:
a mini-strap shorter than the harness strap, the mini-strap extending in parallel with the harness strap in a center harness strap portion to be enclosed by the hook receptacle with the harness strap, the mini-strap comprising first and second mini-strap buckle portions attached to each end of the mini-strap;
and
a first and second harness strap buckle portions movably attached on opposite extensions of the harness strap extending from the center harness strap portion, where the first and second harness strap buckle portions are configured to mate with the first and second mini-strap buckle portions to form a double loop harness configuration, and to combine with a single loop enabler to form a single loop harness configuration;
and
an attachment strap configured for attachment to a fixing structure at one end, the attachment strap comprising a movably attached hooking mechanism to vary the distance between the attaching end of the attachment strap and the hooking mechanism;
where the harness portion is configured for attachment to the attachment strap attached to the fixing structure to provide a user with a body support while in un-balanced positions.

4 more elements

A body band system comprising:

a dual-loop band device comprising a dual-loop joining mechanism and an extension pair extending from the dual-loop joining mechanism, the dual-loop band device configured to connect to corresponding handle loops;
and
an attachment strap configured for attachment to a fixing structure at one end, the attachment strap comprising a movably attached hooking mechanism to vary the distance between the attaching end of the attachment strap and the hooking mechanism;
where the dual-loop band attaches to the attachment strap at the dual-loop joining mechanism, and where the handle loops on the upper body band apparatus provides the user with upper body exercise variations.
