Abstract
A wearable resistance exercise apparatus comprises at least one pulley, a cable coupled to the at least one pulley, at least one handle located at the end of the cable and adapted to be gripped by a user, and a wearable support member, wherein the at least one pulley is located on the wearable support member. A tension adjusting device on the wearable support member allows for varying levels of resistance to be set. The apparatus is worn by a user wishing to perform resistance exercises. The user establishes a level of resistance desired for the exercises by manipulating the tension adjusting device. Exercises are performed by gripping the handle and pulling it in a manner intended to stimulate muscle building.
