Claims6
A resistive exercise device comprising:
- (a) a first resilient elongate member having a first free end and a second free end;
- (b) a second resilient elongate member having a first free end and a second free end;
- (c) handhold means affixed to said first end of said first member and handhold means affixed to said first end of said second member;
- (d) foothold means affixed to said second end of said first member and foothold means affixed to said second end of said second member;
- (e) adjustable friction type connector means receiving said elongate members in adjuxta position relationship and said connector means is slidably attached between said first end and said second end of said second member and said first end and said second end of said first member whereby the distance between said first ends and said connector means may be selectively varied in length so that various exercises may be performed when the handhold means and the foothold means are operated on simultaneously and wherein said adjustable connector means is operable independent of and also not connected to any external structure.
