ABSTRACT:
A gluteal exercise system (10) for imparting a resistive force responsive to a displacement force applied by a user (1) is provided. The gluteal exercise system (10) includes a lower body section (100) having a lower coupling portion (110) and a pair of engagement bars (120, 120') for concurrently engaging the feet of the user (1). The gluteal exercise system (10) also includes an upper body section (200) which is displaceably coupled to the lower body section (100). The upper body section (200) is formed with an upper coupling portion (210) and a pair of engagement arms (220, 220') extending transversely therefrom for concurrently engaging portions of the legs of the user (1). The gluteal exercise system (10) also includes a tension mechanism adjustably coupled to the lower and upper coupling portions (110, 210) for imparting the resistive force in opposition to the force imparted by the user (1) to displace the upper body section (200) relative to the lower body section (100). The upper and lower coupling portions (210, 110) are preferably coupled in telescoped manner; and, the tension mechanism is preferably realized as an elastic band member (300) coupled to one of a plurality of hook members formed on the upper coupling portion (210) and a hook member coupled to the lower coupling portion (110).
