An exercise apparatus for use with a chair, the chair having a base, a pedestal, and a seat, the exercise apparatus includes a support assembly adapted to removably attach to the pedestal, an elongate resilient member having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion with the proximal end portion being adjacent to the support assembly. Further, on the distal end portion is an attachment element, wherein the attachment element is adapted to removably engage to a portion of human anatomy for the purpose of exercise by extending of the elongate resilient member by moving the attachment element away from the support assembly causing a resistive force at the attachment element. Wherein, operationally the elongate resilient member has substantially free omni-directional movement by not contacting the seat when being used for exercise.
