Abstract
The invention includes the method and apparatus of attaching exercise equipment, such as various lengths and configurations of elastic resistance tubing, to athletic footwear. Among the many configurations of the invention is whereby the elastic tubing and handle assembly is permanently connected to the sneaker. Another configuration of the invention is the use of the elastic tubing and handle assembly being equipped with an end clip fastener that can be easily and quickly fastened to and/or unfastened from a sneaker or other type of footwear. Other improvements include a reinforcement ring that may be attached to one or more laces of the shoe and/or other components such as VELCRO strips that can be attached to the body of an athletic shoe to make the attachment, stowage and use of the elastic cord and handle assembly more secure and safer during use.
