Abstract

Three types of exercise grips provide for pivot-anchoring of an impinging body within them so that the impinger heads engage stretchable or non-stretchable exercise media extending upward through their tunnels. The first is a handgrip, the second, an exercise spool used in the manner of cross-country skiing or vigorous walking and the third, an ankle crescent-shaped grip for lateral repetition exercises of the legs. An impinger is caused to swing down to press against exercise media emerging from the grip's tunnel to provide a reliable of connection. Proper anchoring of the impinger within the grip assures its continuing presence to make adjustments and avoids its loss or misplacement. The handgrip permits of anchoring either within the body's interior or at its exterior, in which case, the impinger stem is caused to extend through a window cut therein.
