a second sleeve positionable around another shoulder and another armpit of the user; and a back support connecting a posterior part of the first sleeve and a posterior part of the second sleeve behind the back of the user; and a first stretchable strap comprising: a first portion attached to the harness; and a first handle positioned on the first strap distantly from the first portion of the first strap wherein the first strap further comprises a second portion attached to the harness; and wherein the first handle is positioned on the first strap between the first portion of the first strap and the second portion of the first strap. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, further comprising a second stretchable strap comprising: a first portion attached to the harness; and a second handle positioned on the second strap distantly from the first portion of the second strap to allow the user to hold the first handle with one hand and hold the second handle with another hand. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the back support further comprises a back-support plate positionable against the back of the user. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the first portion is detachably attached to the harness. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the first portion of the first strap is attached to the front portion of the first sleeve. ### Claim 6 (canceled) ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the first strap comprises an elastic band. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the first strap is loop-shaped. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the first portion is attached to the harness by threading the first portion through at least one opening in the harness. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the first handle is movably positioned on the first strap. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the first portion of the first strap is attached to the back support. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1 further comprising a front chest strap connecting the first sleeve with the second sleeve in front of the user. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the harness is posture-correcting. ### Claim 14 An exercise device for a user, comprising: a chest harness comprising: a first sleeve positionable around a shoulder and an adjacent armpit of the user; a second sleeve positionable around another shoulder and another armpit of the user; and a back support connecting a posterior part of the first sleeve and a posterior part of the second sleeve behind the back of the user; and a first stretchable loop-shaped strap threaded through the harness and comprising: a first handle positioned on the first strap distantly from the harness; and a second handle positioned on the first strap distantly from the first handle and distantly from the harness. ### Claim at position 15 15-16. (canceled) ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The device of claim 14, wherein the first handle is movably positioned on the first strap. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The device of claim 14, wherein the back support further comprises a back-support plate positionable against the back of the user. ### Claim 19 (depends on 14) The device of claim 14, wherein the harness is posture-correcting. ### Claim 20 (depends on 14) The device of claim 14 further comprising a front chest strap connecting the first sleeve with the second sleeve in front of the user.
