Patent ID: 7291100

Claim:
An exercise panel, comprising: a resilient panel having an original orientation, an elastic resistance, and an elastic memory where the resilient panel bends from the original orientation when a bending force and a compressive load is applied and where the elastic memory allows the resilient panel to substantially return to the original orientation when the bending force is removed, multiple pulleys located at each of the opposing ends of the resilient panel, and arranged so tat the respective pulleys on each end of the resilient panel share the same axis of rotation and are each offset from the plane of the resilient panel, a cable that runs from pulley to pulley in a tackle arrangement where each end of the cable emerges from a pulley at the other end of the resilient panel, so tat when the ends of the cable are pulled, resistance is generated by applying the bending moment and the compressive load to the opposing ends of the resilient panel, and means for adjusting the resistance of the resilient panel.
