Abstract
Exercise apparatus including a spaced array of tensioned elastic cords removably connected to a support and constitutes an inexpensive, compact, flexible mechanism for providing a substantial variety of continuously variable or controlled, repeatable exercise. The elastic cords in the array are simultaneously accessible to portions of the body over a wide range of orientations because of a generally convex or frustocontical outline formed by the array to permit multiple multi-directional resistive-type exercises in nearly all directions. The elastic cords preferably comprise shock cords, and the shock cords and/or supporting structures advantageously carry visible indicia to indicate the degree of difficulty of the routine or to facilitate use of the apparatus to conduct a preplanned exercise program.
