## Abstract

A wearable harness system for exercise including an elastic waistband, a harness assembly, swivel strap assemblies, fixed strap assemblies and elastic bands. At least one elastic band is engaged to the loops of gloves and/or footwear. The elastic waistband adjusts around a user's body. The fixed strap and the swivel strap assemblies mount upon the lower and upper corners, respectively, of the harness assembly. Each swivel strap assembly comprises a base plate and an exterior plate with first and second edges disposed at predetermined angles. Between the base plate and the exterior plate is a strap assembly with a loop. A pin passes through the central holes of the base plate, the exterior plate and the strap assembly. Threads secure the base plate and the exterior plate to the harness assembly and the elastic band. The strap assemblies may rotate from a vertical to a horizontal position.
