ABSTRACT:
A body exercise device includes a waist belt, which is releasably fastened on the waist of the user. A plurality of snap rings are pivotally attached to the belt at spaced intervals throughout its length to provide different attachment locations for elongated elastic members. The elastic members have snap hooks connected at opposite ends, with one end of each elastic member connected to a selected one of the snap rings on the belt. Foot pieces are provided for each foot of the user; and each of the foot pieces has a snap ring on it for attachment to a snap hook on the opposite end of an elastic member. Hand pieces also are provided for each hand, and include a hand-encircling portion and a wrist protector portion with a swivel snap ring on them, to which a snap hook on the opposite end of a corresponding elastic member is attached. The foot members also have swivel snap rings located on an ankle encircling portion on the inside of each ankle for connection to an additional elastic member by means of snap hooks located on each end. Various exercises can be performed by the exercise device; and different muscles may be exercised by connecting the elastic members to different ones of the snap rings on the waist encircling member, in accordance with the exercise to be performed.
