The device is a set of lower body exercise equipment that makes use of resistance/tension bands. The device comprises a back support brace component for providing form and bracing for the various resistances. The device also comprises a waist band component that secures around a user's waist and attaches the plurality of tension bands to each leg. Further, the device comprises ankle braces secured to a user's ankles to provide support and tension to the ankles during use. Finally, additional tension bands can be utilized as needed, as well as a cross-ankle resistance band secured between a user's ankles to provide additional resistance and tension to the lower legs. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An exercise device comprising: a waist band component; a plurality of resistance bands; and a pair of ankle brace components; wherein each of the pair of ankle brace components is secured around a respective ankle of a user; and further wherein the waist band component is secured around a waist of the user and attaches the plurality of resistance bands to the pair of ankle brace components during use. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The exercise device of claim 1 further comprising a back support brace component that can be secured to the waist band component during use. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The exercise device of claim 2, wherein the back support brace component is comprised of a back panel, a front panel, opposing side panels, and a closure system within the front panel. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The exercise device of claim 3, wherein the back panel of the back support brace component comprises a support pad. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The exercise device of claim 4 further comprising a cross-ankle resistance band secured between the respective ankles of the user at the pair of ankle brace components. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The exercise device of claim 5, wherein the cross-ankle resistance band comprises a middle ankle location clip attachment and a heel ankle clip attachment to further secure the cross-ankle resistance band. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The exercise device of claim 1, wherein the pair of ankle brace components comprise an adjustable strap and a plurality of connecting means for securing the plurality of resistance bands. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The exercise device of claim 7, wherein each of the plurality of resistance bands comprise an attachment end. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The exercise device of claim 8, wherein the attachment end is a carabiner that attaches to the ankle brace components and to the waist band component. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The exercise device of claim 9, wherein at least one of the plurality of resistance bands is a wide resistance band. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The exercise device of claim 10 further comprising a plurality of indicia. ### Claim 12 An exercise device comprising: a waist band component; a back support brace component that can be secured to the waist band component during use; a plurality of resistance bands; a pair of ankle brace components, wherein ach of the pair of ankle brace components is secured to a respective ankle of a user; and a cross-ankle resistance band secured between the respective ankles of the user at the pair of ankle brace components; wherein the waist band component is secured around a waist of the user and attaches the plurality of resistance bands to the pair of ankle brace components during use; wherein each of the plurality of resistance bands comprises an attachment end; and further wherein the attachment end secures to each of the pair of ankle brace components and to the waist band component. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The exercise device of claim 12, wherein the cross-ankle resistance band comprises a middle ankle location clip attachment and a heel ankle clip attachment to further secure the cross-ankle resistance band. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The exercise device of claim 12, wherein the attachment end is a carabiner. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The exercise device of claim 12 further comprising a plurality of indicia. ### Claim 16 (depends on 12) The exercise device of claim 12, wherein the back support brace component is comprised of a back panel, a front panel, opposing side panels and a closure system within the front panel. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The exercise device of claim 16, wherein the back panel of the back support brace component comprises a support pad. ### Claim 18 (depends on 12) The exercise device of claim 12, wherein each of the pair of ankle brace components comprises an adjustable strap and a plurality of connecting means for securing the plurality of resistance bands. ### Claim 19 (depends on 12) The exercise device of claim 12, wherein at least one of the plurality of resistance bands is a wide resistance band. ### Claim 20 A method of applying force and tension to different areas of a user simultaneously while exercising, the method comprising the steps of: providing an exercise device comprising a back support brace component, a waist band component that secures around a user's waist and attaches the plurality of tension bands to each leg, ankle braces secured to a user's ankles, and a cross-ankle resistance band secured between a user's ankles to provide additional resistance and tension to the lower legs; securing the back support brace component and the waist band component around the back and waist of a user; attaching a plurality of resistance/tension bands to the waist band component; securing the ankle braces to a user's ankles and securing the resistance/tension bands to the ankle braces; and performing a cardio workout while simultaneously working out the lower body with the exercise device.
