I claim: 
     
         1 . An exercise device comprising:
 a series of posts, wherein each post set within a base;   a plurality of openings placed longitudinally along a length of each of the posts;   a connector configured for placement within an opening of each post, wherein the connector is configured for receiving a cord.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein each connector secures a cord between a first post and a second post. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein each connector secures a plurality of cords between a corresponding plurality of posts to create a course configuration. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the openings are in a linear arrangement along the length of the post. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the openings have a keyhole shape. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise device of  claim 5 , wherein the keyhole shape is configured to receive and secure the connector. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise device of  claim 6 , wherein the connector within the opening is held in perpendicular relationship to the post. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the connector has a receiving end connected to a locking end by a stem. 
     
     
         9 . The exercise device of  claim 8 , wherein the receiving end is configured to receive and secure the cord, and the locking end is configured to engage the opening in the post. 
     
     
         10 . The exercise device of  claim 9 , wherein the receiving end of the connector includes an aperture. 
     
     
         11 . The exercise device of  claim 10 , wherein the aperture is formed from a first lobe-shaped opening connected to a second lobe-shaped opening. 
     
     
         12 . The exercise device of  claim 11 , wherein the first lobe-shaped opening includes a plurality of projections around an inner circumference of the first lobe-shaped opening. 
     
     
         13 . The exercise device of  claim 12 , wherein the projections are configured to secure the cord into a length. 
     
     
         14 . An agility and exercise device comprising:
 a series of posts, wherein each post is set vertically within a base;   a plurality of openings longitudinally positioned along a length of each of the posts;   a connector secured within an opening of each post, wherein the connector receives a cord for placement between at least two posts; and,   wherein the posts and cords are arranged into a plurality of agility course configurations.   
     
     
         15 . A method of agility training comprising the steps of:
 building an agility course by providing a series of vertical posts set within a base, the posts capable of receiving a connector;   positioning the posts into an agility course configuration;   connecting a plurality of cords to the connector within each post; and,   determining a height for each cord between the posts.   
     
     
         16 . The method of agility training of  claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises connecting the cords in a horizontal position between each post. 
     
     
         17 . The method of agility training of  claim 15 , wherein the method further includes connecting the cords in a sloping position between each post. 
     
     
         18 . The method of agility training of  claim 15 , wherein the method further includes rearranging the agility course configuration by adding or removing posts in the series of posts. 
     
     
         19 . The method of agility training of  claim 18 , wherein the method further includes rearranging the agility course configuration by repositioning the cords between the series of posts.
