Wearable exercise device with adjustable resistance
View Patent ↗A wearable exercise device with adjustable resistance adjustment controls includes a strap having a first fastener on a first end and a second mating fastener on a second end, wherein the strap is configured to removably secure around a user's waist. A housing connected to the strap, which includes a pair of internal spools each operably connected to a spring-loaded resistance mechanism. A cable is affixed at one end to each internal spool. The cables extend outwardly from opposing sides of the housing through a pair of cable openings. A handle is connected to an opposing end of each cable. A pair of resistance adjustment controls disposed on the housing are operably connected to each spring-loaded resistance mechanism. The user can wear the waist strap and grasp the handles to perform arm exercises. The resistance adjustment controls allow the user to independently adjust the resistance of each cable.
1. A wearable exercise device, comprising:
a strap having a first fastener on a first end and a second mating fastener on a second end;
wherein the strap is configured to removably secure around a user's waist of a user;
a housing connected to the strap, the housing comprising a pair of internal spools each operably connected to a spring-loaded resistance mechanism;
