Strength training and stretching system and resistance band assembly for use therewith
First Claim
1. A resistance assembly, comprising:
- a housing that has a first attachment assembly proximate to a first end of the housing and a second attachment assembly proximate to a second end of the housing; and
wherein the second attachment assembly is configured to be engaged to a structure;
a first resilient member for providing a first resistive force;
a second resilient member for providing a second resistive force; and
an adjustment assembly which is selectively engageable with the first resilient member or both of the first and second resilient members; and
when the adjustment assembly is engaged with only the first resilient member, the resistance assembly will provide the first resistive force to a pulling motion on the first attachment assembly; and
when the adjustment assembly is engaged with both of the first and second resilient members;
the resistance assembly will provide the first and second resistive forces to the pulling motion on the first attachment assembly;
wherein the adjustment assembly includes a selector rod that selectively engages the adjustment assembly with the first resilient member or both of the first and second resilient members.

Abstract
A fitness station and resistance band assembly and a method of using the same. The station includes a base; a support extending upwardly from the base; a first arm extending outwardly from the support; and a plurality of attachment members provided on one or more of the base, the support or the first arm. The assembly is selectively engageable with one of the attachment members and is operable to apply a resistive force during a performance of an exercise. The assembly includes a housing that is at least partially rigid and a first resilient member for providing the resistive force located within the housing. The assembly is attached to one of the attachment members on the fitness station. A pulling motion is applied to the assembly during the performance of an exercise. A resistive force is generated within the assembly in response to the applied pulling motion.

15. A resistance assembly, comprising:
-
a rigid rod having a first end and a second end; a connector proximate the second end of the rigid rod, the connector having a first surface, an opposed second surface and a hole defined in the connector extending between the first and second surfaces; a first resilient member for providing a first resistive force; a second resilient member for providing a second resistive force; wherein said the first and second resilient members are removably engaged with the connector and are provided around a circumference of the rigid rod; an adjustment assembly proximate the first end of the rigid rod, engageable with either the first resilient member or both of the first and second resilient members;
wherein when the adjustment assembly is engaged with only the first resilient member, the resistance assembly will provide the first resistive force when pulled at the first end of the rigid rod, and when the adjustment assembly is engaged with both of the first and second resilient members, the resistance assembly will provide the first and second resistive forces when pulled at the first end of the rigid rod; anda selection mechanism configured to allow a user to select engagement of the adjustment assembly with the first resilient member or both of the first and second resilient members. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
