Muscle tension strap
View Patent ↗A muscle tension strap including a pair of elongated flat bands each formed of substantially non-resilient material. The pair of flat bands are affixed together at a plurality of intermediate points therealong to form a plurality of tandem loops. The plurality of intermediate points at which the pair of elongated flat bands are affixed together are in a range of four to seven. Portions of each flat band adjacent each end are affixed together in overlying relationship to form a final loop with a handle therein and the pair of flat bands have a length in a range of five feet to seven feet.
1. A muscle tension strap comprising:
a pair of elongated flat bands affixed together at a plurality of intermediate points to form a plurality of tandem loops; and
portions of each flat band adjacent each end affixed together to form a final loop at each end, wherein the number of intermediate points at which the pair of elongated flat bands are affixed together is in a range of four to seven.
2. A muscle tension strap as claimed in claim 1 wherein the pair of elongated flat bands are each formed of substantially non-resilient material.
3. A muscle tension strap as claimed in claim 1 wherein portions of each flat band adjacent each end are affixed together in overlying relationship to form the final loop with a handle therein.
4. A muscle tension strap as claimed in claim 1 wherein the pair of elongated flat bands have a length in a range of five feet to seven feet.
5. A muscle tension strap as claimed in claim 1 wherein the pair of elongated flat bands are affixed together at the plurality of intermediate points by sewing.
6. A muscle tension strap comprising:
a pair of elongated flat bands each formed of substantially non-resilient material, the pair of flat bands being affixed together at a plurality of intermediate points to form a plurality of tandem loops, the plurality of intermediate points at which the pair of elongated flat bands are affixed together being in a range of four to seven; and
portions of each flat band adjacent each end being affixed together in overlying relationship to form a final loop with a handle therein, the pair of flat bands having a length in a range of five feet to seven feet.
7. A method of exercising comprising the steps of:
providing a muscle tension strap including a pair of elongated flat bands affixed together at a plurality of intermediate points to form a plurality of tandem loops and portions of each flat band adjacent each end affixed together to form a final loop at each end, wherein the number of intermediate points at which the pair of elongated flat bands are affixed together is in a range of four to seven;
engaging a body part in a first loop of the muscle tension strap and another body part in a second loop of the muscle tension strap, the first loop being spaced from the second loop; and
applying tension to the first loop with the first body part and applying opposed tension to the second loop with the second body part to stress and exercise both the first and the second body parts.
8. A method as claimed in claim 7 wherein the body parts are each one of a left hand, a right hand, a left foot, and a right foot.
