ABSTRACT:
An exercise device to be used while walking for exercising the back, abdominal, chest, shoulders, arms, hands, buttocks and leg muscles while walking. A first preferred embodiment of the device includes a elastic neoprene rubber belt having a first and second pair of metal O-rings sewn onto the left and right sides respectively of the belt and approximately 16 long latex hoses attached to each pair. The opposite loose ends of hoses have third and fourth pairs of metal O-rings sewn thereon attached to cylindrical neoprene rubber covers that house a pair of coaxial weights therein. The second embodiment of the device has a T-cross-sectional shaped weight formed by a cylindrical plastic body and an enlarged end cap for fitting within a user's hands and through-holes for tieing. A third embodiment uses alternating hollow cylindrical weights of 1 and 2 lbs each, where each weight has identical outside dimensions. The lengths of the elastic hoses can be varied depending upon the arm swinging of the user.
