Abstract:
Tools and methods for resistance training are disclosed. An elastic resistance member provides resistance to muscular contractions. Sleeves that wrap around a thigh, arm, ankle, or wrist anchor one end of a resistance band to a body part. A handle attachment may be attached to an end of a resistance band for resistance training exercises using the arms. A harness wrapping around the torso may be used for resistance training exercises using the upper body. A method of resistance training is disclosed which comprises attaching one end of a resistance member to a material fixed to the torso area of a person, attaching the other end of the resistance member to a material fixed to an upper arm of the person, and moving the arm so as to extend the resistance member. Other methods comprise attaching one end of a resistance member to a material fixed to an ankle or wrist of a person, attaching the other end of the resistance member to a material fixed to a part of the person's body, and moving the ankle or wrist so as to extend the resistance member.
