Exercise device including an inelastic sling strap

Abstract

An exercise device having many advantageous features is described, including the ability to easily connect or anchor to a many different objects, structures, or body parts, the ability to use the device with many different workloads, forms of resistance, and exercise, the ability to provide a medium of an inconstant dynamic when controlling a workload or form of resistance, the ability to provide an emphasis for using and developing overall hand grip strength or an emphasis for relieving overall hand grip strain when exercising, and the ability to provide one or more users the ability to perform one or more exercises from many different positions with one or more device embodiments. The device includes and inelastic strap embodiment that has a flexible loop eye and an elongated tag-end.

1 . An inelastic exercise device comprising of a webbing strap embodiment that has a flexible loop eye and an elongated tag-end that can be adapted for being anchored to a fixed structure, movable object, another individual, or around the user's own body parts, where the creation of the anchor point is determined by either the user's desire to use and develop overall hand grip strength while performing exercise or the user's desire to relieve overall hand grip strain while performing exercise, where the device embodiment provides a medium of an inconstant dynamic and that allows for one or more users to perform one or more exercises from many different positions by using one or more device embodiments to: adjust body part placement on embodiment or handle; support at least a portion of the resistance workload or user from at least one embodiment; and allow for the movement of the user's body while maintaining the distance between each embodiment and anchor point. 
     
     
         2 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein said webbing strap is comprised of soft yet durable material of cotton, nylon, polypropylene or other polymeric fibers. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein said fixed structure is any solid and immovable object such as a secured pole, tree, stanchion, or anchored exercise equipment. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein said movable object is any non-fixed item that may be used as functional resistance to exercise with such as a weight, dumbbell, log, rock, or water jug. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein said another individual is the user's workout partner or teammate who physically provides the anchor point for the embodiment. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein said body parts is any hand, wrist, arm, foot, ankle, leg, or appendage of the user that the user would use to hold on to or anchor the embodiment to when performing stretching or self-sustaining exercise including resistance exercise. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein said emphasize and develop overall hand grip strength is creating the anchor point by either directly connecting the eye to a fixed structure, movable object, another individual, or around the user's own body parts, or by wrapping the embodiment around a fixed structure, movable object, another individual, or around the user's own body parts and placing the tag-end of the embodiment through the flexible loop eye of the embodiment and pulling the tag-end to secure the sling embodiment to the anchor point, and the user holding on to the tag-end or handle to perform exercise. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein said relieve overall hand grip strain is creating the anchor point by either passing the user's hand through the flexible loop eye of the embodiment to harness the user's wrist and hand or by wrapping the embodiment around the user's own wrist and placing the tag-end of the embodiment through the flexible loop eye of the embodiment and pulling the tag-end to secure the sling embodiment to harness the user's wrist or hand, and by wrapping the embodiment around a fixed structure, movable object, another individual, or around the user's own body parts, and by the user holding on to the tag-end or handle of the embodiment to secure the sling embodiment to the anchor point, and by the user holding on to the tag-end or handle of the embodiment while the user's wrist or hand is harnessed with the loop eye or embodiment to perform exercise. 
     
     
         9 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein said a medium of an inconstant dynamic is the unsteady effect created by the embodiment's flexible webbing strap that is used to control the user's workload or resistance while the user is performing exercise. 
     
     
         10 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein said exercises is any stretching, aerobic, anaerobic, or resistance training, including but not limited to: weightlifting, functional training, partner training, sport-specific training, plyometric training, isometric training, bodyweight training, or any other form of training or exercise. 
     
     
         11 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein said support is the method of supporting a form of resistance from the exercise device by any part or portion of the user's body. 
     
     
         12 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein said support is the method of placing any part or portion of the user's body on the ground or supportive structure.
