ABSTRACT:
A method of exercising in which selected muscle tissue contacts against externally applied pressure. A user places an object, or member, in contact with a body part, and applies pressure to the member, which is transmitted through the body-contacting surface of the member to the underlying muscle tissue. The pressure provides resistance to muscle expansion as occurs during a muscle contraction. A plurality of body-contacting surfaces is provided, each having different dimensions, which will allow a user to alter the pattern in which pressure is transmitted to the underlying tissue. This will allow a user to select an appropriate body-contacting surface to develop specific portions of muscle, rather than muscles as a whole. Pressure can be applied to the member in various ways, such as by manual force or with the use of a strap that is wrapped around the member and the body part being exercised.
