Claim:
1. A training device comprising: a continuous elastic loop having a cross section that is rectangular in shape, wherein the continuous elastic loop is formed from a single layer of material that provides a uniform resistance when placed in tension, and a cross sectional width of the loop in a range from ¾ inch to 2 inches, and a perimeter of the loop in a range from 6 feet to 24 feet; an anchoring portion including a strap and a door anchor operatively connected to the strap, wherein the strap has a distal end and a looped near end and the door anchor is positioned intermediate the distal end and the looped near end so as to be retained relative to a door to anchor the training device, such that when the door anchor is retained by the door the distal end is disposed on an opposite side of the door than the continuous elastic loop; a non-scissoring flexible sleeve slidably wrapped around a first portion of the continuous elastic loop and non-slidably connected to the looped near end of the strap of the anchoring portion, wherein the non-scissoring flexible sleeve extends through the looped near end while wrapped around the first portion of the continuous elastic loop; and at least one non-rigid hand grip slidably wrapped around a second portion of the continuous elastic loop and configured to receive at least one hand of a user around the second portion of the continuous elastic loop for the user to exert force away from the door upon the training device while anchored thereby stretching the continuous elastic loop.
