ABSTRACT:
An exercise device, having a pair of handles—namely a first handle and second handle, and an elastic cord extending through the handles. The elastic cord has a fixed end, the first handle located adjacent to the fixed end. The second handle located along the elastic cord further away from the fixed end than the first handle. The second handle can selectively slide freely along the elastic cord toward and away from the first handle. A novel stopping device is attached to at least one of the first handle and second handle, which is capable of fixing the position of its associated handle along the elastic cord so that the elastic cord may then be tensioned to allow exercises to be performed. The novel stopping device includes a keyhole type slot for the cord terminating in a circular opening and forming a pair of pinch points with a tapering slot whereby the cord is securely held in the circular opening against slippage or accidental removal from the opening.
