ABSTRACT:
An exercise device for exerting a resilient force upon the limbs of the user having two cuffs and a continuously formed looped tension band. The cuffs are generally made of a webbing fabric having secured at opposite ends VELCRO strips for securement about the limbs of the user. The cuffs are generally made of a webbing fabric having secured at opposite ends strips made of synthetic materials which adhere when pressed together such as that material sold under the trademark VELCRO for securement about the limbs of the user. Provided on the exterior of the cuff is an envelope-like enclosure having a closure which is formed from the same adhereable synthetic materials such as those sold under the trademark VELCRO, whereby the tension band is placed within the flaps of the envelope-like enclosure and the flaps are secured about the tension band. In use, the cuffs are secured about the limbs of the user using the VELCRO strips. Once secured, the envelope-like enclosure is then positioned on the exterior aspect of the limb. The chosen continuously formed tension band is positioned and secured within the envelope-like enclosure of each cuff. The user when moving the limbs in opposite directions receives a resilient force, thereby exercising the limbs associated with the exercise device.
