An exercise device comprises an elastic member with foot straps its ends
for attachment to a user's feet, which is secured to a vest which
encircles upper chest region, and passes through an inverted "U" enclosed
pathway affixed to the vest. Additional elastic members are provided that
attach to the first elastic member, and to grasping elements that attach
to a user's hands. The additional elastic members preferably connect to
the first elastic member, and pass through guide means located at or near
the openings of the pathway. Clips or rings are provided on the elastic
members that can be used to shorten the length of the elastic members
and/or add additional elastic members to the device, and thus modify the
tension encountered. In use, the elastic member is put into tension, so
that movement of the legs or arms is against the elastic resistance of
the elastic member.
