Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device for performing physical exercise, comprising:
 (A) a substantially rigid long polygon tube in which two arms retract into and out of to perform various exercises;   (B) two inner arms that can independently detach from the main body to perform additional exercises;   (C) a foot, ankle, and knee strap to perform additional lower body exercises incorporating resistance bands;   (D) an abdominal exercise device utilized with the main body to perform abdominal physical exercises;   (E) a forearm exercise device utilized with the main body to perform additional forearm exercises; and   (F) a cardiovascular exercise device utilized with the two detached inner arms to perform cardiovascular exercises.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 . wherein a substantially rigid long polygon tube encompasses two polygonal arms that retract out of the main body and lock via a spring button device, thereby allowing the device to be utilized in its open position. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 . wherein a substantially rigid long polygon tube encompasses two polygonal arms that retract into the main body and lock via a spring button device, thereby allowing the device to be mobile. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 . wherein both the main body and the two inside arms utilize a polygon tube with sufficient tolerance between the inner arms and the main outside arm so as to disallow free rotation axially of the inner arms. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 . wherein the inner arms contain two end-arm pieces of sufficient size to hold an elastic band with a stopper inside. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 . wherein the inner arm contains a spring button device so as to secure itself to other devices. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 . wherein the foot, ankle, and knee strap contain a sufficiently rigid piece containing two holes of sufficient size to hold an elastic band with a stopper inside. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 . wherein the foot, ankle, and knee strap contain a hook and loop flap to encompass an elastic band so as to disallow the elastic band from slipping during the performance of physical exercises. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 . wherein the foot, ankle, and knee strap contain a hook and loop system to encompass securely a user's foot, ankle, or knee so as to perform physical exercises. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 . wherein an inner polygon tube encompasses a wheel which is allowed to freely rotate over the smooth outside; wherein said device is designed with sufficient tolerance and same polygonal inner dimension to fit over the main body and disallow free axial rotation of the inner polygonal piece. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 1 . wherein two polygonal caps encompass a substantially rigid rope with a stopper attached so as to allow free rotation of the rope inside the caps; wherein both of the caps are designed with sufficient tolerance and same polygonal dimension to fit over both inner arms and utilize the inner arm button system to perform cardiovascular exercise. 
     
     
         12 . A method of performing physical exercise for the upper body, the lower body, a single arm, the forearms, abdominal muscles, and leg or gluteal muscles 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 . wherein a method of performing upper body physical exercise comprising these steps:
 (A) configure the mobile exercise device to that shown in  FIG. 4 , or   (B) configure the mobile exercise device to that shown in  FIG. 5 ;   (C) attach the resistance band to both sides of the unique mobile exercise device;   (D) use the door anchor, or   (E) use the foot, ankle, and knee strap from which to secure the middle of the resistance band;   (F) engage upper body muscle groups, perform upper body resistance exercises by forming resistance in the band and releasing resistance in the band repetitively.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 . wherein a method of performing lower body physical exercise comprising these steps:
 (A) configure the mobile exercise device to that shown in  FIG. 4 ;   (B) attach the resistance band to both sides of the mobile exercise device;   (C) use the door anchor, or   (D) use the foot, ankle, and knee strap from which to secure the middle of the resistance band;   (E) engage lower body muscle groups, perform lower body resistance exercises by forming resistance in the band and releasing resistance in the band repetitively.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 12 . wherein a method of performing single arm physical exercise comprising these steps:
 (A) remove the inner arm from the mobile exercise device as is shown in  FIG. 3 ;   (B) attach the resistance band to both sides of the inner arm;   (C) use the door anchor, or   (D) use the foot, ankle, and knee strap from which to secure the middle of the resistance band;   (E) engage individual muscle groups, perform lower body resistance exercises by forming resistance in the band and releasing resistance in the band repetitively.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 12 . wherein a method of performing abdominal physical exercise comprising these steps:
 (A) configure the mobile exercise device to that shown in  FIG. 5 ;   (B) slip the abdominal roller over the main body of the mobile exercise device;   (C) with one hand on each side, and utilizing abdominal muscle groups, perform abdominal exercises by rolling the mobile exercise device on the floor in inward and outward directions repetitively.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 12 . wherein a method of performing forearm physical exercise comprising these steps:
 (A) configure the mobile exercise device to that shown in  FIG. 5 ;   (B) attach the weight to the forearm rotator by threading the rope through the weight and attaching the rope to itself with the use of the clip;   (C) slip the forearm rotator over the main body of the mobile exercise device;   (D) with one hand on each side, and utilizing forearm muscle groups, perform forearm exercises by turning the mobile exercise device with both hands in clockwise and counterclockwise directions, repetitively winding and unwinding the rope and weight.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 12 . wherein a method of performing leg or gluteal muscle physical exercise comprising these steps:
 (A) slip the resistance band through the door anchor, or   (B) slip the resistance band around an auxiliary anchor;   (C) attach both ends of the resistance band to the foot, ankle, and knee strap;   (D) attach the foot, ankle, and knee strap to either the foot, ankle, or knee;   (E) by forming resistance in the resistance band, perform physical exercises on either the ankle, the knee, any upper leg, or any gluteal muscle.   
     
     
         19 . A method of performing cardiovascular physical exercise comprising these steps:
 (A) configure the mobile exercise device to that of both single arms shown in  FIG. 3 ;   (B) attach the cardiovascular trainer to both ends of the mobile exercise device arms;   (C) perform jump rope exercises.
