Abstract:
1. A body strap comprising: a first loop and a second loop, each loop made of a strip of material; a central strip having a fixture point, the first and second loops being attached to the central strip at the fixture point; an attachment portion attached to the central strip and extending from the central strip for attachment to an attachment point on a stationary object at an opposite end of the attachment portion; the first and second loops including corresponding first and second tightness adjusting mechanisms, the first and second loops being configured to surround a user's body parts with a user-adjustable tightness when the user inserts a first body part into the first loop and a second body part into the second loop; where, when the first and second loops are attached to the attachment portion, and the attachment portion extends and is attached to the attachment point on the stationary object, the user tightens each loop using the tightness adjusting mechanism sufficient to frictionally transfer a rotational force on the user's body parts when the user moves away from the stationary object, where the rotational force is caused by a tension in the attachment portion that pulls the loops in an angular motion relative to the fixture point and the centers of the loops, where the rotational force on the user's body parts causes a stretch of muscle in an area connected to the user's body parts being rotated.
