Abstract

An exercise system comprising an adjustable vest/harness comprising a plurality of straps which encompass a user's torso, shoulders, arms, neck, and legs. The straps further comprise adjustable clip snaps which allow the user to easily put on and take off the harness, as well as adjust the size of the harness to their personal comfort, and can be adapted for people of any body type, size, age, or handicap. Attached to the straps of the harness are a plurality of loops positioned at various locations on both the front and back for releasably attaching interchangeable resistance bands used in conjunction with various accessories such as handles, curling bars, floor plates, gloves, or head harness. The bands are easily interchangeable and adjustable, depending on the desired resistance, and allow the user to exercise all major muscle systems of the body and subsequently travel with or store the system in minimal space.
