1. An exercise device for mounting to a chair, comprising:
- a chair mounting means for securing the exercise device to the chair;
a first resistance means, including a resilient means having a length at rest;
the resilient means being linked to a hand operating means and a foot operating means, whereby movement of the hand operating means, the foot operating means or both permits exercise against the resilient means;
wherein when the exercise device is secured to the chair, a resistance against extension of the resilient means by movement of the foot operating means by a given amount is greater than a resistance against extension of the resilient means by movement of the hand operating means by said given amount; and
wherein an intermediate portion of the resilient means is looped around a plurality of spaced pulleys such that the hand operating means and the foot operating means are spaced by a distance that is less than a length of the resilient means when the resilient means is at rest.

Abstract
An exercise device for mounting to a chair, the device including a resistance means having a resilient means with a length. The resilient means is linked to first and second operating means at respective opposite ends of the resilient means, whereby movement of at least one of the first and second operating means permits exercise against the resilient means.

13. An exercise device for mounting to a chair, comprising:
-
a chair mounting means for securing the exercise device to the chair; a first resistance means, including a resilient means having a length at rest; the resilient means being linked to a hand operating means and a foot operating means, whereby movement of the hand operating means, the foot operating means or both permits exercise against the resilient means;
wherein when the exercise device is secured to the chair, a resistance against extension of the resilient means by movement of the foot operating means by a given amount is greater than a resistance against extension of the resilient means by movement of the hand operating means by said given amount;wherein the chair-mounting means permits removable mounting of the device to the chair for portability; wherein the removable mounting means further includes a central mounting device and one or more arms extending from the central mounting device, and wherein each of the one or more arms supports a respective resistance means; and wherein the central mounting device includes a clamp and wherein each of the one or more arms is pivotable about an axis coaxial with an axis of the clamp.
