Exercise device

Abstract

An exercise device comprises at least one rigid grasping member of substantially triangular configuration, at least one adjustable loop-shaped grasping member, and at least one grasping member with an adjustable handle. A first resilient interconnecting member is coupled between the rigid grasping member and the adjustable loop-shaped grasping member. A second resilient interconnecting member is coupled between the rigid grasping member and the adjustable-handle grasping member. Each resilient interconnecting member is adapted for use in resistive type exercises.

       11 . The exercise device of  claim 9 , wherein one end of said strap-attached hook-and-loop fastener is looped to engage a first coupling ring.  
   
   
       12 . The exercise device of  claim 11 , wherein said first coupling ring is attached to a first end of said at least one strap-like grasping member.  
   
   
       13 . The exercise device of  claim 12 , wherein said first end of said at least one strap-like grasping member is attached to a second coupling ring, said second coupling ring being adapted to engage said at least one coupling clip.  
   
   
       14 . The exercise device of  claim 2 , wherein said at least one adjustable-handle grasping member comprises a hollow handle, and a strap extending through said hollow handle, said hollow handle adapted to move over and around said strap for adjustment by a user.  
   
   
       15 . The exercise device of  claim 14 , wherein said strap includes first and second ends being attached to at least one coupling ring.  
   
   
       16 . The exercise device of  claim 15 , wherein said at least one coupling ring is adapted to engage said at least one coupling clip.  
   
   
       17 . An exercise device, comprising: 
 a rigid grasping member of substantially triangular configuration;    a first grasping member with an adjustable handle;    first means for resiliently coupling said rigid grasping member to said first grasping member;    a second grasping member with an adjustable handle; and    second means for resiliently coupling said rigid grasping member to said second grasping member, said first and second resilient coupling means being adapted for use in resistive type exercises.    
   
   
       18 . The exercise device of  claim 17 , wherein each of said first and second resilient coupling means includes at least one resilient interconnecting member having at least one coupling clip at each end.
