Abstract:
1. A modular, resistive, limb-muscle exercise system comprising: (a) a torso anchoring module configured for encircling and being adjustably secured around a portion of a person's torso; (b) a limb extremity-receiving module; and (c) at least one elongate resilient module having a proximal portion and a distal portion, the resilient module being adapted for placing the proximal portion in operative association with the torso anchoring module and for placing the distal portion in operative association with the limb extremity-receiving module to provide variable, resistive tension to the muscles of a limb during exercise; the elongate resilient module consisting essentially of an elastic chain comprising a plurality of detachable interconnecting elastic links, the number and elasticity of the links being variable for adjusting the length and resistive force of the elongate resilient module.
