ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a portable, safe, easy, and effective device for exercising. The device includes a series of components usable together in numerous combinations so as to provide a total physical workout. The components are capable of being transported in a small attache case or gym bag. The exercise device may be used for exercising the upper portion of the body, including hands, arms and upper torso, with a stationary door frame or portable foot plate providing the anchor resistance. Alternately, the legs, ankles and lower torso may be exercised while seated on an ordinary chair or bench with an ordinary door providing the anchor resistance. Multiple elastic bands, cables or springs provide adjustable resistance to movement in all forms of the invention.
