Multi-Use Range of Motion Roller

Abstract

A multi-use range of motion roller that combines the traditional benefits of a foam roller with the added benefits of strength and resistance training.

1 . A multi-use exercise device comprising:
 an elongated generally cylindrical foam roller having two terminating ends and a length therebetween;   at least one quick release point attached to a surface area of the generally cylindrical foam roller; and   at least one resistance mechanism attached to each of the at least one quick release points.   
     
     
         2 . The multi-use exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the elongated generally cylindrical foam roller is comprised of polyethylene foam. 
     
     
         3 . The multi-use exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the quick release port is comprised of a fastener means, the fastener means chosen from the group consisting of: hook and loop fastener, clips, buckles, buttons, clasps, clamps, clips, toggles, straps, pins and pegs. 
     
     
         4 . The multi-use exercise device of  claim 1 , where at least two of the at least one quick release points are located equidistant from each other on the elongated generally cylindrical foam roller. 
     
     
         5 . The multi-use exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one resistance mechanism is permanently attached to each of the at least one quick release points. 
     
     
         6 . The multi-use exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one resistance mechanism is temporarily attached to each of the at least one quick release points. 
     
     
         7 . The multi-use exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one resistance mechanism is chosen from the group consisting of: resistance bands, resistance cords, and resistance tubing. 
     
     
         8 . The multi-use exercise device of  claim 1  further comprising a securing mechanism attached to the surface area of the elongated generally cylindrical foam roller, wherein the securing mechanism functions to secure a user to the elongated generally cylindrical foam roller.
