Bow shaped exercise bar

Abstract

An exercise device. The exercise device includes an elongated rod having a bow shape with a first end opposite a second end. A first fork extends from the first end of the elongated rod and a second fork extends from the second end of the elongated rod. The first and second fork each include a plurality of fingers forming at least one gap therebetween.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An exercise device comprising:
 an elongated rod comprising a bow shape and having a first end opposite a second end;   a first fork extending from the first end of the elongated rod; and   a second fork extending from the second end of the elongated rod, wherein the first and second fork each comprise a plurality of fingers forming at least one gap therebetween.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fingers of the first and second fork curve away from one another. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise device of  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of fingers of the first and second fork each form a U-shape. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fingers of the first and second fork each comprise three fingers and two gaps. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the elongated rod comprises a substantially straight mid portion a first curve at the first end and a second curve at the second end forming the bow shape. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise device of  claim 5 , further comprising a first hinge connecting the first end to the mid portion and a second hinge connecting the second end to the mid portion. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise device of  claim 5 , wherein the first end and the second end are releasably attached to the mid portion. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise device of  claim 7 , wherein the first end and the second end are releasably attached to the mid portion by threaded connectors. 
     
     
         9 . An exercise device comprising:
 an elongated rod comprising a substantially straight mid portion a first curve at a first end and a second curve at a second end forming a bow shape;   a first fork extending from the first end of the elongated rod; and   a second fork extending from the second end of the elongated rod, wherein   the first and second fork each comprise a plurality of fingers forming at least one gap therebetween, and   the plurality of fingers of the first and second fork curve away from one another each forming a U-shape.   
     
     
         10 . The exercise device of  claim 9 , further comprising a resistance band comprising a first end disposed within the gap of the first fork and a second end disposed within the gap of the second fork.
