Combination grip for an exercise device

Abstract

An exercise device having many advantageous features is described, including the ability to provide a combination of grips to the user, and the ability to easily mount the device to a wall. One exercise device described is an inelastic resistance device having a combination grip that includes hand grips and a loop. The hand grip and loop may be used as a foot grip, or alternatively, just the hand grip can be used by the hand. The selection of a specific accessory grip allows the user to exercise by specific body parts and provides for a greater number of possible exercises.

1 . An exercise apparatus comprising:
 an inelastic portion having at least one end including a hand grip; and   a loop attached to said hand grip,   where said loop is a continuous loop which passes through said hand grip, and   where said exercise apparatus is adapted to support the weight of a user of the exercise apparatus by said hand grip, said loop, or some combination thereof.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , where said hand grip includes a rigid portion. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , where said rigid portion has a length that is at least as long as a fist. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , where said rigid portion and said loop are sized to restrain a foot. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , where said loop is separate from said inelastic portion. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , where said loop is replaceably attachable to said hand grip. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , where said loop is not replaceably attachable to said hand grip. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , where said loop is has a fixed length. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , where said loop has an adjustable length. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , where said loop is a first loop, where said at least end includes a second loop, and where said second loop passes through said hand grip. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , where said at least one end includes a first end and a second end, where said hand grip is a first hand grip and where said second end includes a second hand grip.
