ABSTRACT:
An exercising device has a body made from one solid continuous piece of contoured rod using the variable friction resistance rope principle. The body is formed having two spaced rod sections, one end of each of the rod sections bends inwardly and extends towards a center line with the two rod sections then bending to extend substantially parallel to a point where they then bend towards each other and join to form a curved end; this arrangement forms a neck and shoulder portion. The two spaced rod sections taper towards each other where they form short parallel rod sections at the opposite end of the body with the ends of the rods joining to form a second curved end. Resistance is varied by passing the rope around the rod a selected number of turns. The number of loops around the rod directly affect the friction resistance developed. A rope guide is removably fixed to the short parallel rod sections at the opposite end of the body and guides the rope to aid in maintaining the rope at a desired location as it passes from the body.
