Each end portion has a body wherein each body has one of a pair of opposed first end faces and at least a pair of first weighted segments. Each of the weighted segments is removably attachable to the elongate member and/or a corresponding end portion in an operative position. Each first weighted segment also has a second end face which abuts the first end face in the operative position. Each body has a first exterior surface region including and anchor portion for attaching thereto at least one elongate resilient portion at one end of the resilient portion and to a fixed object at the opposing end. A method for using the device is also provided.
