Portable Exercise Device

Abstract

A portable exercise device is provided. The device is comprised of a frame with a repositionable pulley housing and a band, allowing users to perform various resistance exercises. Additionally, the pulley housing contains an internal coil attached to a band with handles and grips, featuring a resistance control to adjust the band's tension in specific increments. The device can be stabilized by the user's weight while sitting on the device or can be fastened to a surface or vertical object for additional exercise variations, making it suitable for a wide range of resistance exercises including wrist curls, bicep curls, triceps extensions, shoulder presses, and leg exercises, among others.

What is claimed is:

         5 . The portable exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the band is positioned around the internal coil. 
     
     
         6 . The portable exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the band is comprised of a handle. 
     
     
         7 . The portable exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the internal coil applies tension to the band. 
     
     
         8 . The portable exercise device of  claim 7 , wherein the amount of tension the internal coil applies to the band can be adjusted by the resistance control. 
     
     
         9 . A portable exercise device comprising:
 a frame comprised of a vertical member, a horizontal frame member comprised of a track, a seat; and   a pulley housing captured within the track, the pulley housing comprised of a coil, a band, and a resistance control.   
     
     
         10 . The portable exercise device of  claim 9 , wherein the band is comprised of a handle. 
     
     
         11 . The portable exercise device of  claim 10 , wherein the handle is comprised of a grip. 
     
     
         12 . The portable exercise device of  claim 9 , wherein the internal coil applies tension to the band. 
     
     
         13 . The portable exercise device of  claim 12 , wherein the amount of tension the internal coil applies to the band can be adjusted by the resistance control. 
     
     
         14 . The portable exercise device of  claim 9  further comprised of a fastener. 
     
     
         15 . The portable exercise device of  claim 14 , wherein the fastener is comprised of a hook and loop strap.
