Resistance Cover Band Device

Abstract

A resistance band cover device is provided having a cover body with an elongate band having a first terminal end and a second terminal end opposite the first terminal end, an internal cavity defined by the elongate band and disposed between the first terminal end and the second terminal end, and a first band opening disposed at the first terminal end of the elongate band exposing a first end of the internal cavity and a second band opening disposed at the second terminal end of the elongate band exposing a second end of the internal cavity. The cover device further utilizes a first band coupling element disposed at the first terminal end and a second band coupling element disposed at the second terminal end such that the first band coupling element is physically attached to the first terminal end via a first permanent coupling member, and the second band coupling element is physically attached to the second terminal end via a second permanent coupling member.
