Strengthening and flexibility device

Abstract

A strengthening and flexibility exercising apparatus. The apparatus utilizes a left branch and a right branch, which are attached by a tie rope knotted over a horizontal structure. Each branch is made up of elongated cloth strips which are looped over and through a number of elastic bands. The cloth strips are provided with a cloth stirrup to accommodate each foot or leg of a user. Each cloth stirrup has an adjustable heel support flap. The elastic bands are secured by a tie rope, which is inserted through the top of a loop formed by each set of elastic bands. The remaining ends of the tie rope are then knotted over a horizontal structure, which then secures the entire apparatus to the horizontal structure.
