The device includes a substantially rigid body portion with substantially angled ends, suitable for engagement by hands or feet of a user, or in conjunction with doors, exercise equipment or additional exercise accessories, such as resistance bands, in order to perform numerous efficient and effective exercises.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device for exercising comprising at least one substantially rigid body portion further comprising at least two substantially angled end portions, wherein said at least one end portion is substantially acutely angled in reference to one side of said rigid body portion and said at least said other end portion is substantially perpendicularly angled in reference to the opposite side of said rigid body portion. 
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said at least one substantially rigid body portion comprises a metal body. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2  wherein said at least one substantially rigid body portion comprises one edge of said body portion that is substantially longer the opposing edge of said body portion. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said device further comprises at least two substantially rigid body portions that comprise a self-referencing pair of rigid body portions. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said at least one substantially rigid body portion further comprises at least one slot portion located along at least one edge of said body portion for removably engaging an additional piece of exercise equipment. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said at least one substantially angled end portion further comprises at least one slot portion located along at least one edge of said angled end portion for removably engaging an additional piece of exercise equipment. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 6  wherein said angled end portion for removably engaging an additional piece of exercise equipment comprises said angled end portion removably engaging a resistance band. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 6  wherein said angled end portion for removably engaging an additional piece of exercise equipment comprises said angled end portion removably engaging a battle rope anchor. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 6  wherein said angled end portion for removably engaging an additional piece of exercise equipment comprises said angled end portion removably engaging a suspension trainer strap. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said at least one end portion substantially acutely angled in reference to one side of said rigid body portion and said at least said other end portion substantially perpendicularly angled in reference to the opposite side of said rigid body portion further comprises a flexible rubber ramp affixed to the top surface of said substantially perpendicularly angled end portion. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said at least said other end portion is substantially perpendicularly angled in reference to the opposite side of said rigid body portion is positioned to removably engage the underside of a door. 
     
     
         12 . A method of using a device for exercise comprising the steps of:
 Providing at least one user of said device;   Providing at least one device comprising at least one substantially rigid body portion further comprising at least two substantially angled end portions, wherein said at least one end portion is substantially acutely angled in reference to one side of said rigid body portion and said at least said other end portion is substantially perpendicularly angled in reference to the opposite side of said rigid body portion;   Choosing at least one fitness movement to engage said at least one device;   Selecting a desired amount of repetitions of said at least one fitness movement to achieve desired amount of exercise; and   Completing said desired amount of repetitions of said at least one fitness movement to achieve desired amount of exercise.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 14  wherein choosing at least one fitness movement to engage said at least one device comprises choosing multiple fitness movements. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 15  wherein choosing said multiple fitness movements result in a complete body workout for said user. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14  further comprising said method of using a device for exercise is directed by a fitness professional. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14  further comprising said method of using a device for exercise is directed by a fitness coach. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 14  further comprising the removably engageable use of at least one exercise accessory with said device. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 14  further comprising the removably engageable use of at least one door with said device. 
     
     
         19 . A device comprising at least one substantially rigid body portion further comprising at least two substantially angled end portions, wherein said at least one end portion is substantially acutely angled in reference to one side of said rigid body portion and said at least said other end portion is substantially perpendicularly angled in reference to the opposite side of said rigid body portion. 
     
     
         20 . The device of  claim 12  wherein said device is used to facilitate exercise.
