Definitions

  • the present disclosure generally relates to an exercise device, and more particularly, an elastic resisti ve exercise device including a series of two or more loops.
  • Resistive exercising has long been incorporated into athletic training and therapeutic regimens in order to help prevent inj ury, enhance performance, and rehabilitate muscles after injury or surgery.
  • Conventional isometric or isotonic exercise devices have been used to provide avenues for strength training and muscle therapy without the cost and space required with more complex and bulky equipment.
  • many types of single loop bands or single strip bands of elastic material in the related art have been developed that allow a user to manually exercise based solely on the resistive action provided by the band.
  • the user may exercise with a single loop band by holding the band toward one end with a hand or a foot and attaching the other end of the band to a stationary object, such as a door, or holding the other end with another hand or foot.
  • a user must loop the band multiple times around their hand or foot, or tie knots at an appropriate location in the band.
  • Some users such as the elderly or those with extensive damage to the muscles of the hands or feet, for example, may not be able to effectively grip the bands and thus may deviate from a therapeutic regimen prescribed by a physician to strengthen and/or rehabilitate damaged muscles and/or cause additional injur ⁇ ' to themselves.
  • a physician may strengthen and/or rehabilitate damaged muscles and/or cause additional injur ⁇ ' to themselves.
  • some users may rely on special handles that have to be separately attached to the exercise device, resulting in additional cost and complexity that can be discouraging to users.
  • an exercise device that permits easy and efficient use without the need to reconfigure the device with knots or constricting loops, wherein an isotropic nature of the material used to make the device may allow the device to easily contour to the shapes of surfaces, providing reduced slip when mounting to various objects, for example, while simultaneously being capable of shaping to the contours of a user's anatomy for added comfort. Additionally, there is a need for an exercise device that is easy to manufacture in order to achieve the above benefits with little to no modification on the part of the users.
  • the present invention contemplates an exercise device that is capable of overcoming the disadvantages described above.
  • the present disclosure describes a device for exercising muscles that relies on the resistive properties of a material used to produce a series of flexible loops.
  • the device can be formed from strips and/or preformed loops of elastic material joined to each other in a series or chain.
  • the exercise device may include a first elastic loop portion defining a first continuous loop, the first elastic loop portion having an inner surface and an outer surface, opposite the inner surface of the first elastic loop portion.
  • the exercise device may include a second elastic loop portion defining a second continuous loop, the second elastic loop portion having an inner surface and an outer surface, opposite the inner surface of the second elastic loop portion.
  • the exercise device may include a joining region where the outer surface of the first elastic loop portion is attached to the outer surface of the second elastic loop portion, and the joining region is capable of simultaneous multidirectional stretching when subjected to or released from an applied load.
  • the exercise device may include a plurality of interconnected elastic loop portions, each interconnected elastic loop portion defining an enclosed continuous loop having a respective inner surface and an outer surface. At least one elastic loop portion of the plurality of interconnected elastic loop portions has at least two joining regions attached to outer surfaces of two adjacent elastic loop portions of the plurality of interconnected elastic loop portions.
  • the exercise device may include a first tubular portion having an outer surface, and a second tubular portion having an outer surface.
  • the outer surface of the first tubular portion may be attached to the outer surface of the second tubular portion via at least two joining regions to define at least one loop therebetween.
