Embodiment Construction

[0020]As shown in the drawings the apparatus consists of two main parts. The first (1) being one length of elastic rubber tube covered in a nylon braid. The second (2) being a flexible plastic or rubber triangular fixture which holds the tube into its effective design.

[0021]The basic assembled apparatus is shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 5. The tube is pulled through six contoured holes. 1 is pulled through 3 and 4 leaving equal lengths of the tube on either side, and then continues through 5 to create the shoulder loop 9, then placed under itself on the back side of 2 and pulled through 6. 1a (the other end of 1) is pulled through 7 to create the second shoulder loop 10 and then placed under itself on the back side of 2 and pulled through 8.

[0022]As shown in FIG. 1 Exercise Position One is outlined wherein the assembled apparatus is worn against the front of the body.

[0023]As shown in FIG. 2 Exercise Position One is outlined wherein the assembled apparatus' shoulder loops 9 and 10 wrap ar...

Abstract

The invention relates to a wearable elastic upper body strengthening exercise device designed for use by a person who wants to build upper body strength. The device consists of one length of rubber tube or similar elastic material and a triangular fixture that holds this tube in two loops designed to fit around each shoulder. The tension of these shoulder loops can be adjusted to fit any size body frame, and can be affixed to provide a range of tension. The device allows the user a full range of motion while the resistance encourages a strengthening of affected muscle groups.

Description

BACKGROUND—FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention generally relates to an upper body strengthening apparatus and, more particularly, to an elastic rubber tube with a triangular fixture, configured in a unique design, which loops around the shoulders and can be worn against the chest or the back, designed to strengthen a user's upper body by maintaining a constant and continuous tension on those groups of support muscles.[0003]2. Discussion of the Related Art[0004]A strong upper body is the foundation to good health and well-being. Good posture helps to maintain a healthy back, it holds the body upright, improves balance and enables increased power of arm and leg movements. This culminates in maintaining optimum mobility and protection from the risk of over extending.[0005]The benefits of elastic resistance have been proven to have quick and effective results in building muscular strength. The device outlined in Claim 1 is based on the fundamenta...
