1. An isometric-exercise towel for use in performing isometric exercises using the hands and feet of a person performing said isometric exercises, said isometric-exercise towel comprising:

  • a rectangular-shaped layer of fabric material having moisture-wicking characteristics, four corner regions, a pair of opposing ends, a pair of side edges extending between said four corner regions and said opposing ends;

    four hand/foot-insertable apertures formed in said four corner regions of said rectangular-shaped layer of fabric material, anda pair of hand/foot-insertable apertures formed along said side edges between said opposing ends of said rectangular-shaped layer of fabric material; and

    multiple pieces of flexible canvas material arranged about the perimeter of said rectangular-shaped layer of fabric material, and stitched together, for reinforcing and strengthening said opposing ends, said side edges and said four corner regions of said rectangular-shaped layer of fabric material, in which said hand/foot-insertable apertures are formed in said isometric-exercise towel;

    wherein each said hand/foot-insertable aperture has side inner perimeter surfaces and is reinforced with double stitching about said side inner perimeter surfaces of said hand/foot-insertable aperture;

    wherein said isometric-exercise towel has a longitudinal axis extending between said opposing ends, and a latitudinal axis extending between said pair of side edges;

    wherein said isometric towel has an unfolded configuration, a latitudinal folded configuration, and a longitudinal folded configuration;

    wherein when arranged in said unfolded configuration, said isometric-exercise towel is unfolded along its longitudinal and latitudinal axes, and said hand/foot-insertable apertures are available for insertion of the person'"'"'s hands and/or feet during isometric exercise;

    wherein when arranged in said latitudinal folded configuration, said isometric-exercise towel is folded along its latitudinal axis, two sets of hand/foot-insertable apertures are spatially aligned along said opposing ends, for insertion of the person'"'"'s hands and/or feet during isometric exercise;

    wherein when arranged in said longitudinal folded configuration, said isometric-exercise towel is folded along its longitudinal axis, and three sets of hand/foot-insertable apertures are spatially aligned along said side edges for insertion of the person'"'"'s hands and/or feet during isometric exercise; and

    wherein when using said isometric-exercise towel in one of said configurations, one hand or one foot of a person, or both hands or both feet of said person, are inserted within any one of said hand/foot-insertable apertures formed in said isometric-exercise towel so as to perform an isometric exercise by said person using said hands and/or feet to exert forces against the side inner perimeter surfaces of said hand/foot-insertable apertures in an outwardly and isometric manner, while said multiple pieces of canvas material stitched together provide reinforcement and strength between adjacent sets of hand/foot-insertable apertures used by the hands and/or feet of said person during said one or more isometric exercises.
