The exercise equipment may be used with a safety door attachment that comprises a safety loop for looping around a door handle or knob. The safety loop is stitched to a loop threaded through a plastic spindle of a foam door stop used on one side of a closed door. A further loop extends from the plastic spindle to the other closed side of the door and is adapted to receive the exercise equipment through the further loop. A series of isometric pulling and pushing exercises, trunk rotation among other exercises are disclosed and various accessories which may be used for warm up, relieving pain and for exercise including a D-ring embodiment for use with known exercise equipment.
