Abstract:
1. An exercise device comprising: at least one elongated elastic band, the band having a first end and an opposing second end; a sleeve that receives at least a portion of each elastic band so as to at least partially envelope the elastic band while permitting the first and second ends to be accessible, wherein the sleeve has at least one retaining member; and a removable belt that is directly coupled to the sleeve by the at least one retaining member and is in direct contact with the sleeve and runs along a substantial length of the sleeve, the belt having two free ends with connectors at each end of the two free ends to allow attachment of the belt about a waist of a user, wherein one end of the belt is adjustable relative to the respective connector to allow the circumference of the belt to change, wherein the removable belt includes a fastener that is at a fixed location along the removable belt at a location between the two free ends, the fastener being configured to permit attachment of the belt to an object, wherein the at least one retaining member is configured such that the removable belt is permitted to slidably travel along an outer surface of the sleeve and in a longitudinal direction relative to the sleeve so as to change a relative position of the removable belt to the sleeve, while at the same time maintaining the coupling between the belt and the sleeve and contact between the sleeve and the removable belt.
