Abstract
An exercise device comprises a flexible belt having first and second ends; first and second ball shaped handles; and a first and second attaching mechanism attaching each of the ball shaped handles to the first and second ends, respectively. Preferably, the attaching mechanism is operative to rotatably and pivotally attach each of ball shaped handles to first and second ends, respectively. Advantageously, with the the preferred attachment mechanism, each of the handles rotates about a first axis substantially parallel to the length of the belt and the first axis pivots about a second axis parallel to the plane of the belt.
