Exercise band

Abstract

An improved exercise band including an elastic band having detachable handles on opposite ends thereof, a movable sheath extending between the opposite ends and surrounding the elastic band, and a plurality of spaced attachment members placed around the elastic band and attached to the sheath for allowing releasable attachment of and movement of other exercise equipment. In use, exercise equipment can be releasably attached to chosen attachment members such that a variety of exercise band shapes can be created and a variety of exercises can then be performed using the improved exercise band.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . The improved exercise band comprising:
 an elastic band including:
 a proximal end; 
 a distal end; and 
 a length; 
   a first handle;
 wherein said first handle is attached to said proximal end of said elastic band; 
   a second handle;
 wherein said second handle is attached to said distal end of said elastic band; 
   a sheath;
 wherein said sheath is formed having a tubular shape; and 
 wherein said sheath is adapted to extend between said proximal and distal ends and surround said elastic band; and 
   a plurality of attachment members:
 wherein said plurality of attachment members are spaced from one another and attached to said sheath; and 
 wherein said plurality of attachment members are each adapted to allow releasable attachment of and movement of exercise equipment respective said elastic band; 
   wherein when in use said exercise equipment are adapted to be releasably attached to chosen said attachment members such that said exercise band can be formed in different shapes, such that a variety of exercises can be performed using said improved exercise band.   
     
     
         2 . The improved exercise band of  claim 1 , wherein the elasticity of said elastic band in use is adapted to be adjusted via the choice of attachment members connected together and by the shape formed of said exercise band. 
     
     
         3 . The improved exercise band of  claim 1 , wherein said improved exercise band is formed in the shape of a loop. 
     
     
         4 . The improved exercise band of  claim 1 , wherein said attachment members are formed as loops; and wherein said exercise equipment used is adapted to releasably connect with chosen said loops to thereby form said shape of said improved exercise band. 
     
     
         5 . The improved exercise band of  claim 1 , wherein said improved exercise band is adapted to be releasably attached to an attachment member on a wall and pulled therefrom. 
     
     
         6 . The improved exercise band of  claim 1 , wherein said sheath is movable with respect to said elastic band.
