Abstract
Abstract An exercising device is provided which is of one piece molded construction and includes only a resilient single strand member which is of circular cross-section. The ends of the strand member terminate in looped straps that are flat in cross-section and which function as a handle and a stirrup, respectively. One looped strap is substantially wider than the other looped strap, and thus is adapted to be positioned and retained about one''s foot. Each looped strap is V-shaped and tapers from a narrow width to a wider width. The vertex of each V-shaped looped strap is integral with the strand member.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
220 words
An exercising device comprising one member which is of a molded one piece construction, said member being elastic and having a circular cross-section, said member having a first means at one end adapted to receive a hand of a user and a second means at the opposite end of said member adapted to receive a foot of a user so that as a user pushes on the last mentioned means with his foot the elongation of the elastic member will be resisted by a user grasping the first means while performing an exercise, said first means having only a single loop of substantially flat cross-section and a predetermined width, and said second means having only a single loop of substantially flat cross-section, both the first and second means being resilient and being molded integrally with said member, each said means being V-shaped with its apex being formed integrally with said member, and each of said first and second means tapering from a narrow width to a larger width, the loop adapted to receive a foot of a user being substantially larger than the loop that is adapted to receive a hand of a user, the increased width of one loop being necessary so as to better support the bottom portion of a foot of a user during an exercise program.
