The device may be used to anchor resistance band equipment with handles (3) or resistance band exercise equipment with clips (6) from any angle with an appropriate level of resistance in the range of motion required for many body positions to perform isotonic, plyometric and isometric exercises.
2. Description of the Prior Art The art of elastic resistance exercise has been in development for over 100 years, with the first patents issued for anchor devices in the 19th century.
Many anchor systems have been developed for resistance exercises exemplified by Canadian Pat nos. CA 2387149,CA 2610583,CA
2422317,CA 1218392,CA 2239917,CA 2501482 and US Pat. Nos. 588017, 679784, 689418, 691295, 704840, 726095, 1112114, 2938695, 44874'13,4611805,5221240,4861020,5277683,5468205,5556369, 5601518, 5766118 What does not exist in the prior art is the ability to anchor resistance band equipment so resistance can be created from every angle including overhead and under feet and in such a way as to allow resistance band equipment with handles (3) and resistance band equipment with clips (6) to be effectively used with a variety of resistance band strengths and with a wider variety of motion from a wider range of body positions to perform isotonic, plyometric and isometric exercises designed to develop strength, quickness, co-ordination and range of motion.
The prior art in anchor systems fails to maximize the full potential of the art of exercise with resistance band equipment. The invention will provide exercisers using resistance band equipment with a greater variety of anchor points and the ability to progress through an exercise routine using a variety of exercises and strengths of resistance thus allowing resistance band exercise equipment to be used more effectively, in less time.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of this invention is to provide an exercise device that will allow resistance bands to be used to better advantage by providing an anchor system which increases the number of exercises possible and shortens the time required to perform them.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of this invention is to provide an exercise device that will allow resistance bands to be used to better advantage by providing an anchor system which increases the number of exercises possible and shortens the time required to perform them.
Specifically this invention provides the following:
vertically 360 degrees of anchor points;
efficient change of resistance bands equipment;
efficient change of position and type of anchor;
efficient change from one to two handed exercises.
How the invention provides this will be apparent from the following description of the drawing.

DESCRIPTION
The user is positioned on the concave side of the curved vertical structure (1). Resistance band exercise equipment is anchored by the exercise device allowing the user to execute a variety of movements with resistance.
The elastic section of the resistance band (5) of the resistance band equipment with handles (3) may be passed behind the curved vertical structure (1). The user then uses a variety of exercise movements to move either or both handles (4) away from the curved vertical structure (1) while a point along the elastic section (5) of the resistance band equipment with two handles (3) is anchored by the curved vertical structure (1) and one of the anchor points (2) on the convex side of the curved vertical structure (1).
The anchor points (2) spaced along the convex side of the curved vertical structure (1) serve three functions, the first to stabilize the anchor point of the elastic section of the resistance band (5) at a specific location along the curved vertical structure (1), the second to provide a device to anchor one handle (4) of the resistance band with handles (3) when the exercise being performed requires moving a single handle (4) away from the anchor point on the curved vertical structure (1) and three the ability to efficiently change one strength of resistance band equipment with handles (3) for another.
The anchor points (2) spaced along the concave side of the vertical structure allow resistance band equipment with clips (6) to be attached to the curved vertical structure (1) so that one end can be secured to the curved vertical structure (1) at a variety of heights while the other is attached to devices that allow a variety of exercises to be performed with resistance.
Those experienced in the art of exercise know that these functions;
allow isotonic, plyometric and isometric exercises to be performed that develop muscle strength quickness co-ordination and range of motion from every angle;
allow resistance band equipment with handles (3) and using a single or both handles (4) to be anchored;
allow resistance band equipment with clips (6) that require one end be anchored while the other end is moved by the user ;
allow a series of exercises (a routine) requiring different resistance strengths, different anchor heights, and resistance band exercise equipment to be performed in an efficient manner.
The user is positioned on the concave side of the curved vertical structure (1). Resistance band exercise equipment is anchored by the exercise device allowing the user to execute a variety of movements with resistance.
The elastic section of the resistance band (5) of the resistance band equipment with handles (3) may be passed behind the curved vertical structure (1).
