Breast enhancement system

A chest exerciser includes an elongated plunger housing and a pair of plungers that move in sealed sliding contact with the plunger housing on opposite sides of a common air volume within said plunger housing. An adjustable vent, centrally located between the plungers, communicates with the common air volume. Each plunger is attached to a hand grip. The handles slide on and are coaxial with the plunger housing. In the fully retracted position the grip distance between the proximal end of said first plunger hand grip member and the proximal end of said second plunger hand grip member is between 0 and 10 inches. The exerciser is used in combination with a breast enhancement nutrient, such as pueraria mirifica, which may be applied to the breast as a cream or tonic or ingested as an herb or pill.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to exercising devices and in particular to a pneumatic resister of linear motion having a selection of handle, attachment and/or anchor means that are positional on opposite ends for direction of selectively push exercise and pull exercise to select muscle groups and to specific muscles in the select muscle groups.

A wide variety of motion resisters have been devised for expending exercise work to build muscles. None are known, however, to be pneumatic motion resisters having equally or selectively variable opposite-directional motion resistance with select handle, attachment and/or anchor means positional on opposite ends in a manner taught by this invention.

Examples of spring exercise devices that are related but different are described in the following patent documents: U.S. Pat. No. 5,267,929, issued to Chen on Dec. 7, 1993; U.S. Pat. No. 5,246,413, issued to Koblick on Sep. 21, 1993; U.S. Pat. No. 5,026,050, issued to Leung, et al. on Jun. 25, 1991; U.S. Pat. No. 4,483,533, issued to Mangiapane on Nov. 20, 1984; U.S. Pat. No. 3,497,216, issued to Feather on Feb. 24, 1970; and U.S. Pat. No. 2,806,699, issued to Spooner on Sep. 17, 1957. Unfortunately, spring-resister type exercise devices are not as safe as pneumatic-resister type exercise devices as skin can get caught between spring coils and the spring device can open quickly and hurt the user.

An example of a different but related pneumatic motion resister is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,044,630, issued to Ventimiglia on Sep. 3, 1991. The Ventimiglia device, however, was limited to use of elbow pads that specifically direct exercise work to arms instead of to chest and shoulder areas as taught by this invention. Further, the Ventimiglia device was not adaptable to select positioning of handle, attachment and/or anchor means as taught by this invention.

A great need exists for a chest exerciser with which exercise work can be directed precisely to chest muscles. This is important for both women and men. For women, it is because chest muscles make healthy breasts which aid bodily health and do not sag. Instead, muscle at tops and sides of breasts are developed to hold them up, to protect them and to facilitate mammary circulation. Cosmetically, the muscles at tops of breasts cause higher and larger bust configuration. The muscles at sides of breasts add cleavage beauty and breast width that are very attractive. Overall, the breasts can be enlarged with a highly beneficial and safe health effect instead of with breast implants. It also obviates the need for humiliating breast-extension cups.

For men, it is important for some of the same reasons as for women but with different body-structure effects. Development of chest muscles aids circulation in the chest area and looks good. Area-specific exercise of chest muscles causes huge male chest buildup that conveys attractive masculinity in a manner in which similar female chest buildup on breasts conveys attractive femininity.

Improved chest circulation for both women and men also aids circulation in arms and hands. Highly important also, it aids vascular circulation for the heart, the head and the nerves of both sexes.

There is an urgently vast need also for area-specificness of a low-weight, small and inexpensive motion resister to be adaptable and adjustable selectively to exercise of other parts of bodies.

Further yet, there is need for motion resistance with area-specificness to be adjustable separately for opposite directions of linear motion resistance. Resistance of both push and pull provides weight-lifting effects in opposite directions. Some muscle groups and some specific muscles in different muscle groups are best exercised with push and others with pull exertion. Particularly chest group muscles of both females and males have some specific muscles that are best exercised with push and others with pull. Arm and leg muscles are similar in relation to different specific muscles. It is direction of appropriate push and pull exertion to specific muscles in muscle groups that gives the special effects of desired muscle protrusion.

Thus a chest exerciser is adaptable to exercise other muscle groups with precise muscle-area specificity that is effective and efficient for chest buildup of both females and males. One of its utilities is its adaptability of appropriate exertion exercise to different muscle groups and to specific muscles in muscle groups throughout a body as well as to the chest area.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Reference is made first toFIGS. 1–4. A pneumatic resister1of linear motion is a select type of pneumatic pressurizer that is operated linearly with pneumatic resistance of airflow through a design form of flow regulator with at least one inflow resister2and/or at least one outflow resister3. Examples of select pneumatic resisters1are an accordion pneumatic resister4shown inFIG. 1, a telescopic pneumatic resister5shown inFIG. 2, a single-plunger pneumatic resister6shown inFIG. 3, and a double-plunger pneumatic resister7shown inFIG. 4. In a preferred embodiment as a chest exerciser, all pneumatic resisters1depicted inFIGS. 1–4have a first hand grip member8and a second hand grip member9that are attached to end plates10or to plunger shafts11, respectively, for separate types of pneumatic resisters1as illustrated. End walls10are preferred design walls of different types of pneumatic resisters for positioning of inflow resisters2and outflow resisters3. Each of the embodiments ofFIGS. 3 and 4included an elongated plunger housing6and7, respectively. In the embodiment ofFIG. 3a first plunger11A is in sealed sliding contact with plunger housing6, and in the embodiment ofFIG. 4, a first plunger11B and a second plunger11C are in sealed sliding contact with plunger housing7. In the embodiment ofFIG. 3a common air volume6A, is enclosed by plunger housing6, first plunger11A, and common air volume closure member10, which in this embodiment is the plunger housing end wall. In the embodiment ofFIG. 4, a common air volume7A, is enclosed by plunger housing7, first plunger11B, and common air volume closure member11C, which in this embodiment is second plunger11C.

Referring toFIGS. 5–7, a selection of flow-resistant means such as inflow resister2and outflow resister3are foreseeable. An inflow resister2can be a type that has an inlet valve12which seats against an inlet-valve seat13in a threaded inlet-adjustment sleeve14having an adjustment knob15that is preferably knurled. An inlet-valve spring16can be anchored in an inlet-orifice step17. Inward threading of the inlet-adjustment sleeve14increases spring pressure against the inlet valve12to increase suction pressure required for volume expansion of whichever pneumatic resister1is employed for increasing pull resistance. The converse is employed for decreasing pull resistance. A sufficiently rigid inlet-valve spring16to function as a rigid sleeve converts inflow resistance from spring-operational mode to volume-operational mode because the inlet valve12then would be held rigidly at an adjusted distance from the inlet-valve seat13. Spring-operational mode with a designedly lighter inlet-valve spring16is preferable because it is near totally pressure sensitive instead of near totally speed sensitive in comparison to volume-operational mode. The inlet-valve seat13surrounds an inlet-valve orifice18through which inflow air is directed to inlet orifice19in an end plate10.

An outflow resister3can be a type that has an outlet valve20which seats against an outlet-valve seat21surrounding an outlet orifice22in the end plate10. A threaded outlet-adjustment sleeve23has an outlet-valve orifice24surrounded by an outlet-spring step25against which an outlet spring26is anchored to apply opening pressure against the outlet valve20in accordance with threaded positioning of the outlet-adjustment sleeve23. An adjustment knob15can be the same for both the inflow resister2and the outflow resister3. Also like the inflow resister2, volume-operational mode is achievable with a sufficiently rigid outlet spring26for the same reasons in reverse flow.

Referring toFIGS. 6–7, rotational indicia27and a pointer28on adjustment knobs15can be provided for fine-tune adjustment. Extra-fine threading of the inlet-adjustment sleeve14and the outlet-adjustment sleeve23is recommended for two reasons. First, it provides a lower cam angle for high positioning reliability. Second, it provides finer adjustment which is important because minute differences in valve openings make a big difference in airflow that affects pneumatic resistance. From the top, a uniformity of appearance of valves that are easy to set enhances product acceptance and marketing.

Referring toFIGS. 8–9, handles8and9can be attached to end plates10and to plunger shafts11with an attachment means, such as a quick-disconnect attachment29, threaded attachments or other means. Other types of quick disconnect devices than the one depicted also can be employed. For example, a Luer connector that is used in the medical profession for syringes is good because it is particularly rigid. A plausible modification of a Luer connector would be a tapering of a connector shaft30and a matched tapering of a cylindrical receptor31that are shown straight as employed generally in mechanical fields. The tapering would be at distal ends of the connector shafts30and at proximal ends of the cylindrical receptors31beyond a lock pin32and a lock slot33.

An attachment means such as a form of quick-disconnect attachment29allows use of body-connection components and body anchors such as body anchor34and multiple handles8and9on either end. Other body-connection components also can be attached to either or both ends of a pneumatic resister1with an attachment means that is standard for different handle and body-connection components. Foot straps35can be modified to be leg straps or shoulder attachments as optional types of body-connection components. Shoulder attachments, for instance, would permit shoulder and chest exercise independently of arm exercise when desired for chest buildup. Standardized attachment means opens this invention up to an equivalent of weight-lifting and pressing exercise simultaneously with adjustable resistance in opposite directions. This is a feat never before accomplished with such a convenient and highly versatile exerciser.

Reference is made now toFIGS. 10–14which depict stick figures of exercisers in relation to methods for using a pneumatic resister1having a first attachment36and a second attachment37that are either handles8and9or body anchors34as appropriate for particular methods of use. InFIG. 10, a method for exercising chest and arm muscles is outlined by arms38of an exerciser39grasping first attachments36and second attachments37, which in this method would be handles8and9, and then pushing and pulling the attachments36and37at arm heights which cause exercise of different parts of the exerciser's chest area. Different positions are shown in dashed lines.

InFIG. 11, a foot anchor40is attached to a second attachment37while a first attachment36, preferably two handles8and9attached to a body anchor34as depicted inFIG. 8, is grasped for lifting and pressing exercise in a standing or variously upright position of the exerciser39.

InFIG. 12, similar methodical relationships are depicted as forFIG. 11, but with the exerciser39on a platform41such as an exercise pad or a bed to achieve different exercise effects for different types of people with different exercise objectives.

InFIG. 13, the exerciser39is sitting for selectively different exercising with components similar to those explained in relation toFIGS. 11–12.

InFIG. 14, the exerciser39is sitting with a leg anchor42attached to the second attachment37. Although shown with arms38in contact with the first attachment36, the method shown here is particularly appropriate for a body anchor34shown inFIG. 8for connection to shoulders of an exerciser39for chest exercise that is independent of arm and leg work.

InFIG. 15a side view of the exterior of a single-action, double-plunger embodiment is shown having a fixed handle102with hand grip104on one end and a moveable handle103with hand grip105on the other end. The body of the device101has an upper cylinder106and a lower cylinder107connected by central section108. A resister adjustment valve109in the central section108may be turned to adjust air flow through the valve, which in turn increases or reduces the pneumatic resistance when the moveable handle103is pulled outward from the body of the device101. In other words, the more air that is vented out the valve109the less resistance there will be against the push or pull of a user's muscles. The valve109may be a standard petcock valve and have multiple positions such as high, medium or low depending on the resistance desired.

InFIG. 16the internal workings of the single-action, double-plunger embodiment shown inFIG. 15are shown. The upper cylinder106and lower cylinder107contain rods111aand111bwith plungers110aand110bmounted on the ends thereof. Air vents112on each end adjacent to each handle are the central connecting air vent113allow compressed air to pass to the vent109for resistance adjustment purposes. In operation when the moveable handle103is pulled away from the body101the air behind the plunger is adjustably compressed to provide inward resistance against the muscles. Conversely, when the removable handle103is pushed inward from an extended outward position the air in front of the plungers110aand110bis also compressed and forced through the vent109to provide adjustable resistance.

InFIG. 17a double-action version of the pneumatic resister exercise device of the present invention is illustrated wherein both handles102and103may be simultaneously pulled outward away from the body101or conversely pushed inward simultaneously by wrapping the fingers around the grips104and105. As illustrated, this version has top and bottom cylinders of the body split into four pneumatic sections,121aand121bon the bottom and121cand121don the top, supported by central walls116aand116b.Each cylinder has a plunger114a,114b,114cand114dmounted on rods115a,115b,115cand115d.Central air vents117aand end air vents118connected to central vent113are provided to allow air to be vented through central valve109to adjustably control the resistance of the device. In operation when the handles102and103are pulled outward away from the body101, air behind the plungers114a,114b,114cand114dis compressed with air being vented out of the valve109through vents118and113depending on the adjustable setting of the valve109. Conversely, when the handles102and103are pushed inward from an outward extension the air in front of the plungers114a,114b,114cand114dis compressed against the central walls116aand116band vented out the valve109through central plunger vents117aand117b.Thus, in the latter manner this pneumatic exercise devices provides resistance in both directions, inward and outward, to exercise different muscles of the body, particularly the chest.

InFIG. 18the single-action embodiment of the present invention previously illustrated inFIGS. 15 and 16are shown being assisted by springs119aand119band120aand120b.Springs120aand120bbehind the plungers110aand110badd resistance force when the handle103is being pulled outward from the body101of the device. Conversely, this resistance may be somewhat offset by the outward force of the springs119aand119bin front of the plungers110aand110b.Conversely, when the handles103are pushed inward toward the body101from an outward extending position, resistance is provided by the springs119aand119bin front of the plungers110aand110b.AlthoughFIG. 18shows springs both in front of and behind the plungers, either or any combination may be used with or without the central valve109, which also acts to increase or decrease resistance.

AlthoughFIGS. 15,16,17and18showing single or double action using two or four cylinders, a plurality of cylinders with plungers could be utilized to achieve the pneumatic resistance provided by this device. In any event, these double plunger versions provide more stability for the exerciser not provided by a single plunger version described and illustrated inFIGS. 1–4as the inward or outer pressure against the handles does not result in the transverse movement which could cause the pneumatic exercise device to fall from one's hands during use. Another embodiment of the pneumatic exercise device that is designed with handles that can be closely retracted and provide stability while exercising the breast muscles and enhancing the breast size of a user is described below.

InFIG. 19, a partially cutaway side view of another embodiment of the pneumatic exercise device is shown. Double-plunger-pump pneumatic resister200includes a first plunger hand grip member206and a second plunger hand grip member204wherein a cross-section of the members206and204form a circle, or alternatively, other geometric shapes such as ovals, pentagons, hexagons, hectagons, octagons or squares. A first handle224and a second handle226provide a grasping surface for the first plunger hand grip member206and the second plunger hand grip member206, respectively. The first handle224and second handle226are made from a foam material, or alternatively, other compressible or non-compressible material such as plastic, Styrofoam, rubber, sponge, foam rubber or sponge rubber.

The double-plunger-pump pneumatic resister200also includes a plunger housing228that contains a first plunger211and a second plunger213. The first plunger211is attached to the first plunger hand grip member206by plunger connector210at the distal end of the first plunger assembly. Also, the second plunger213is attached to the second plunger hand grip member204at the distal end of the second plunger212. Both the first plunger hand grip member206and the second hand grip member204include holes230to allow air flow. The plunger housing228is enclosed at one end by a first end wall208and at the other end by a second end wall222. Both first end wall208and second end wall222have holes to allow for the first plunger212and second plunger210, respectively, to move through. Preferably, the first end wall208includes a first adjustable inlet vent218and a first adjustable outlet vent220, and the second end wall222includes a second adjustable inlet vent214and a second adjustable outlet vent216to allow the user to set the desired airflow resistance of the pneumatic exerciser device. In this embodiment, a common air volume232, is enclosed by plunger housing228, first plunger211, and common air volume closure member213, which in this embodiment is second plunger213. This embodiment of the pneumatic exercise device is designed with handles that can be closely retracted and provide stability while exercising the breast muscles and enhancing the breast size of a user. When the pneumatic exerciser device is in a fully retracted position, there is a retracted grip distance between the proximal end240of the first plunger hand grip member224and the proximal end241of the second plunger hand grip member226. This retracted grip distance is preferably between 0 and 10 inches. Preferably, the retracted grip distance is between 1 and 5 inches.

FIG. 20is a front view of another embodiment of the pneumatic exerciser device in a fully retracted position. The double-plunger-pump pneumatic resister300includes a first plunger hand grip member302and a second plunger hand grip member304. The first plunger hand grip member302includes a first handle306and a first end cap314and the second plunger hand grip member304includes a second handle308and a second end cap316. When the pneumatic exerciser device is in a fully retracted position, there is a retracted grip distance311between the proximal end of the first plunger hand grip member302and the proximal end of the second plunger hand grip member304. This retracted grip distance311is preferably between 0 and 10 inches. Preferably, the retracted grip distance311is between 1 and 5 inches.

The double-plunger-pump pneumatic resister300further includes an elongated plunger housing310including a flared vent housing319which encloses an adjustable vent312. A side cut-away view of double-plunger-pump pneumatic resister300is shown inFIG. 21. In addition to the parts described above inFIG. 20,FIG. 21depicts a first plunger330and a second plunger331in sealed sliding contact with the elongated plunger housing310. Here “sealed” sliding contact means that, as it slides, the plunger is in suitable contact with the housing so that air or other fluid cannot circumvent the plunger by escape where the plunger contacts the housing, but rather is pushed by the plunger as it moves. Of, course, in the real physical world, every plunger is to some extent imperfect, and thus this term includes plungers in which there may be an insignificant amount of air or other gas that leaks through the plunger seal. Also shown is an optional recessed area307, perhaps best shown inFIG. 25, in the first plunger hand grip member302and the second hand grip member304to allow the first handle306and the second handle308to be flush with the first plunger hand grip member302and the second plunger hand grip member304, respectively. The elongated plunger housing310may be a one-piece assembly or a multi-piece assembly. When the elongated plunger housing310is a two-piece assembly, as shown inFIGS. 21 and 25, a seal322is placed between the proximal ends, such as321(FIG. 25) to seal the elongated plunger housing310. The seal322includes a channel324to communicate airflow between the seal and the adjustable vent312. The first plunger hand grip member302and the second plunger hand grip member304move between fully retracted positions and fully extended positions.

InFIG. 22, a front view is shown of the double-plunger-pump pneumatic resister300in a fully extended position revealing a first end310A and a second end310B of the two-piece elongated plunger housing310. The first plunger hand grip member302and the second plunger hand grip member304are shown extended distally relative to the center of the elongated plunger housing310. InFIG. 23, the common air volume326is shown between the first plunger330and the common air volume closure member331, which in this embodiment is the second plunger331. The common air volume326increases in size as the first plunger330and second plunger321are moved away from each other and, conversely, decreases in size as the first plunger330and second plunger331are moved toward each other. As the user moves the first plunger hand grip member302and the second plunger hand grip member304away from each other, air is introduced into the common air volume326via the adjustable vent312creating a resistive motion for the user to overcome. Conversely, as the user moves the first plunger hand grip member302and the second plunger hand grip member304toward each other, air is evacuated from the common air volume326via the adjustable vent312creating a resistive motion for the user to overcome. InFIG. 24, the double-plunger-pump pneumatic resister300is shown from an end view revealing a front view of the first end cap314. The double-plunger-pump pneumatic resister300includes several internal parts that are interrelated to the resistive force and are described below.

InFIG. 25, an exploded view of the double-plunger-pump pneumatic resister300is shown. A two-piece elongated plunger housing310is shown as separated in the middle, depicting the first housing member310A and the second housing member310B which together comprise the two-piece elongated plunger housing310. Both the first housing member310A and the second housing member310B include at least one vent hole317(FIG. 24A) located at the distal end of the respective housing member to vent pressure created between the plunger, such as330, and the distal end325of the respective housing member. The first housing member310A, second housing member310B, the first plunger hand grip member302and the second plunger hand grip member304can be made of plastic, or alternatively, by other rigid material such as steel, aluminum, metal, carbon, plexiglass or fiberglass. The first housing member310A and the second housing member310B are connected by a seal322that seals the two housing members creating the common air volume326. In an alternative embodiment this seal can be a divider which divides the air volume into separate volumes354and355.

Seal322preferably includes an O-ring groove340. The O-ring groove340can be on one or both sides of the seal322and accepts an O-ring for sealing the first housing member310A and second housing member310B when they are positioned together to form the elongated plunger housing310. The first housing member310A contains the first plunger331in sealed slideable contact. The first plunger assembly includes a first plunger connector shaft328, a first plunger330and a first plunger end O-ring332. The second housing member310B contains the second plunger331in sealed slideable contact. The second plunger assembly includes the same structure and parts as the first plunger assembly and will not be described. The adjustable vent312includes a knob334that enables the user to adjust the pneumatic resistance of the double-plunger-pump pneumatic resister300. The knob334allows the user to increase or decrease the resistive force of the double-plunger-pump pneumatic resister300.

The adjustable vent312includes a vent member336attached to a knob334. The vent member336and knob334are attached to each other and rotate together to adjust airflow resistance of the double-plunger-pump pneumatic resister300. The knob334is in communication with the seal322via channel324. InFIG. 26, a front view of the vent member336is shown depicting a plurality of varying sized vent member holes342. The vent member holes342are located around the perimeter of the vent member336. The channel324is tangentially offset from the middle of the seal to conform to the location of at least one of the vent member holes342. As the knob334is rotated or selected by the user, a corresponding vent member hole342is selected, which comes in communication with the channel324, thereby creating greater or lesser pneumatic resistive force through the adjustable vent312. InFIG. 27, a perspective view of the second plunger hand grip member304is shown with the second end cap316removed to expose at least one second plunger hand grip member vent hole344. As mentioned above, the first plunger hand grip member302includes at least one first plunger hand grip member vent hole and the second plunger hand grip member304includes at least one second plunger hand grip member vent hole. The first end cap314and second end cap316are supported from their respective plunger hand grip members by ribs315(FIG. 25), or alternatively, other such devices to allow for airflow between the end caps314and316and their respective plunger hand grip members302and304. At the distal end, such as325, or each plunger housing, such as310, the end cap314is supported by the plunger hand grip member, such as304, and the plunger connector shaft, such as328, to create an air passage way for venting the plunger hand grip member vent hole344and the at least one housing vent hole317. The system300is held together by screws that screw into bosses, such as323, within flared vent housing319.

The present invention includes a system for enhancing the size of a breast of the user. The system includes the use of an exerciser as described herein in combination with a breast nutrient compound, such as pueraria mirifica, a known natural plant estrogen.

As is known in the art, some nutrient compounds, such as pueraria mirifica, can enhance breast growth of a user. Pueraria mirifica is a natural plant estrogen, also known as phytoestrogens, which are constituents that bind to estrogen receptors and have other effects similar to estrogen in the body. They are not truly estrogens, since their chemical forms are different from estrogen. These phytoestrogens do have estrogen-like effects that can be very helpful for the growth of breast cells. Estrogen is a natural body substance that affects the human body characteristics, including growth and maintenance of all female sex characteristics. The deficiency of estrogen in the body can cause menopause, sagging breasts, wrinkled skin and bone loss.

Pueraria mirifica can lengthen the milk ducts of a breast and stimulate and expand the fat tissues, resulting in firmer breasts. Pueraria mirifica can also maintain collagen, develop new skin cells, which can both contribute to soft, smooth and beautiful breasts. The active ingredients in these pueraria mirificas include miroestrol, pueraria, mirifica, daidazein, B-sitistirol, soumestrol, genistein and genisten. The pueraria mirifica can be delivered to the breast area via various mechanisms including ingesting herbal foods, ingesting pills, application of crèmes, application of tonics and application of pastes.

The pueraria mirifica can be applied directly onto the breast of a user via a crème or tonic. Also, the pueraria mirifica can be taken orally, including by herbal foods and pills. The pueraria mirifica promotes fibroblasts in normal breast cells. The pueraria mirifica stimulates fibroblasts that produce collagen tissues or glands. Working together, the pueraria mirifica and the pneumatic exerciser embody an effective system that can increase the breast size of a user. This system offers the user a plethora of methods in which to enhance the size of the user's breast. One such embodiment is to apply pueraria mirifica crème directly to the breast of a user followed by a regimen of alternating extending and retracting forces applied to the pneumatic exerciser by the user. For stronger users, the knob334is selected to a more resistive force, and conversely for less strong users, the knob334is selected to a less resistive force. This method of using the pueraria mirifica and pneumatic exerciser system can be repeated several times a day for improved results.

Another embodiment method for enhancing the breast size of a user involves ingesting a pill containing the pueraria mirifica followed by the above stated regimen of alternating extending and retracting forces applied to the pneumatic exerciser by the user. In addition, a further embodiment involves digesting herbal foods that contain pueraria mirifica followed by the above stated regimen of alternating extending and retracting forces applied to the pneumatic exerciser by the user.

A feature of the invention is the close proximity of the handles, such as8,9,224,226,306,308, particularly in the embodiments ofFIGS. 4, and19–27, which focuses the exercise at the breast area of the user. This proximity is enhanced by the fact that the exerciser utilizes a common air volume, thereby eliminating parts that force the handles to be further apart. This is also enhanced by the fact the handles, such as224,226,306,308slide on and are coaxial with the plunger housing, such as228,310A and310B. This focus of the exerciser on the breast area in combination with the use of a breast nutrient compound provides a synergistic effect that is not available with any prior art breast enhancement system.

A new and useful chest exerciser having been described, all such modifications, adaptations, substitutions of equivalents, combinations of parts, pluralities of parts, applications and forms thereof as described by the following claims are included in this invention.
