A body engaging assembly is provided for attachment with the at least one pulley cable.
Claims16
An exercise apparatus, comprising:
- a mounting assembly;
- a pulley assembly coupled to the mounting assembly, the pulley assembly includes a pulley strap member having a first end secured to a first pulley and a second end secured to a second pulley, the pulley strap member being held by a spacing member such that the first end of the pulley strap member and the second end of the pulley strap member are held in a spaced relationship for holding the first pulley and the second pulley in a spaced relationship;
- a pulley cable is positioned about the first pulley and the second pulley for movement relative thereto, the pulley cable includes a first end and a second end;
- a first handle is coupled to the first end of the pulley cable;
- and
- a body engaging assembly is coupled to the pulley cable, wherein the body engaging assembly is a belt shaped and dimensioned for positioning about a waist of a user, the belt including an elongated body with an inner surface and an outer surface, as well as a first end and a second end, and the first end of the elongated body and the second end of the elongated body are provided with mating fastening members allowing for releasable attachment of the belt about the waist of a user.
