Exercise Apparatus
First Claim
1. A device for exercising the muscles in one'"'"'s body, said device comprising a base, a plurality of connection interfaces carried by said base, and one or more resilient members, each of said connection interfaces being configured to provide a removable securement for an end portion of one of said resilient members such that said resilient member extends therefrom in a cantilevered disposition, whereby a user gripping one of said resilient members and exerting a force thereon so as to deflect said resilient member effects an exercising of muscles in the user'"'"'s body.

Abstract
This description is not intended to limit the scope of the claims herein. An exercise device comprising a base that can be oriented at any angle and that defines a plurality of connection interfaces, each of which is designed to carry and restrain one end of a cantilevered resilient member. Said connection interfaces can be positioned at or adjusted to a widely varying range of locations and angular orientations with respect to the base. The resilient members can be affixed to any of the connection interfaces that the user desires, so that the resilient members can be positioned in a correspondingly wide range of locations and angular orientations relative to the base to enable the user to perform a wide range of exercises on the apparatus by gripping and exerting a force on the resilient members or other handles attached to the resilient members.

33. A method of exercise the muscles of one'"'"'s body comprising the steps of inserting one or more resilient members into a supporting base so as to define one or more removable securements for an end portion of each of said resilient members such that said resilient member extends from the base in a cantilevered disposition, gripping the unrestrained end of the resilient member, exerting a force on said unrestrained end of the resilient member so as to deflect said resilient member and effecting an exercising of muscles in the user'"'"'s body, and varying the location or angular orientation of the removable securement such that said resilient member can extend from the base in a plurality of locations or angular orientations with respect to said base.
