Claim:
1. A method of varying a resistive force, said method comprising: providing a resistance band assembly for providing resistive force during the performance of an exercise; where the resistance band assembly includes a housing having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween; a bore defined in the housing; a connector provided in the bore, said connector having a first surface and opposed second surface; a hole defined in the connector and extending between the first and second surfaces; a disc provided in the bore, said disc having a first surface and opposed second surface; an aperture defined in the disc and extending between the first and second surfaces of the disc, where the hole is longitudinally aligned with the aperture; providing a first resilient member having a first shaft of a first diameter with a first enlarged region at a first end of the shaft and a second enlarged region at a second end of the shaft; and engaging the first resilient member between the connector and the disc within the resistance band assembly to provide a first resistive force during the performance of an exercise, including:
