Claim:
1. A resistance tube handle comprising: a base having portions defining a central opening; a first ear extending from the base on a first side of the central opening; a second ear extending from the base on a second side of the central opening spaced from the first side; a flexible strap which extends above the central opening and which is connected to the first and second ear; a first block pivotably connected to the base to pivot about a first axis; a second block pivotably connected to the base to pivot about a second axis, wherein the first axis is parallel to the second axis, and the central opening is positioned between the first axis and the second axis, and wherein each of the first block and the second block have portions defining an inside wall, the first block and the second block being pivotable between an open position and a closed position, wherein in the closed position, the inside walls of the first block and the second block face each other to define a through hole extending between the first block and the second block and communicating with the base central opening, and wherein the base central opening has a first maximum dimension measured in a plane parallel to a plane extending through the first axis and the second axis, and wherein the through hole defined between the first block inside wall and the second block inside wall has a second minimum dimension measured in a plane parallel to the plane extending through the first axis and the second axis, the second minimum dimension being less than the first maximum dimension, such that a resistance tube having a main diameter and a larger expanded end diameter can extend through the base central opening when the first block and second block are in the open position, and the resistance tube expanded end diameter is retained against passing through the central opening when the first block and the second block are in the closed position.
