Abstract
Abstract An exercising device having a pair of resiliently connected handles. Each handle has a gripping portion which extends through the user''s hand to provide a hand-grasp during exercise, and connecting portions which are integral with and extend longitudinally from respective ends of the first portion. A pair of elastic tubes of equal lengths connect the handles and have an internal diameter less than the diameter of the connecting portions of the handles. One connecting portion of each handle is resiliently received in the end of a tube to interconnect the handles and allow flexation of the device by the user.
