Abstract

Exercise equipment for at least pulling and pushing exercises comprises an elastic tubular band covered by a flexible material covering, for example, of nylon which is threaded through an O-ring grommet and holes in first and second straps threaded through first and second handles proximate to one another when gripped by a user. The exercise equipment may be used with a safety door attachment that comprises a safety loop for looping around a door handle or knob. The safety loop is stitched to a loop threaded through a plastic spindle of a foam door stop used on one side of a closed door. A further loop extends from the plastic spindle to the other closed side of the door and is adapted to receive the exercise equipment through the further loop. A series of isometric pulling and pushing exercises, trunk rotation among other exercises are disclosed and various accessories which may be used for warm up, relieving pain and for exercise including a D-ring embodiment for use with known exercise equipment.

Exercise equipment having an elastic circular band surrounded by flexible material of a length between fifty-eight inches and seventy-eight inches,

at each distal end of the elastic circular band surrounded by a covering material, a first and second handle, each comprising a plastic grip handle covered by a foam cover, each handle and foam cover having a diameter of between 2.0 and 3.5 centimeters, each handle being of sufficient length adapted for a human hand comprising four fingers and a thumb to grasp firmly,
a respective first or a second strap end passing through each handle, the strap ends comprising a strap, the strap to each of the first and second handles having a different length adapted such that when the handles are gripped by a human hand, the foam of each handle compresses and the handles rotate slightly with the force of the grip,
each distal end of the elastic circular band and flexible material passing through an O-ring metal grommet tying one strap for one handle to the other strap of the other handle by their respective ends, and
