- 7. The process of securing a deadman to a door to enable points on the deadman to be used as anchor points for an exercise device 6 comprising the steps of:
placing a series of D-rings fastened between the door mounted strap and back-mounted strip on the closing side of the door.
- 8. The process of securing a deadman to a door to enable points on the deadman to be used as anchor points for an exercise device 6 comprising the steps of:
providing the back-mounted strip between a closing door face and the door-mounted strap.
- 9. The process of securing a deadman to a door to enable points on the deadman to be used as anchor points for an exercise device according to claim 6 and wherein:
providing elastic straps having means for attachment and either end; fastening the elastic straps to the D-rings at one end; providing an exercise appliance for attachment to the body of an exerciser; and, fastening the elastic straps to an exercise appliance at the other end.
- 10. The process of securing a deadman to a door to enable points on the deadman to be used as anchor points for an exercise device according to claim 9 and wherein:
choosing the provided exercise appliance from the group consisting of a waistband, an individual hand hold, an enlarged hand hold, a limb band, and an armband.
