Compact exercise device

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are as follows: 1.
An exercise device comprising: a generally polygonal frame of elastomeric material, the frame including a pair of first bars extending generally parallel to one another along first opposite sides of the frame; a pair of second bars extending generally parallel to one another along second opposite sides of the frame; a generally central third bar located intermediate the first and second bars; web members interconnecting the third bar with at least some of the first and second bars to establish openings in the frame between the third bar and each of the first and second bars such that the frame may be gripped at any of the first, second and third bars for resilient deformation of the frame; and weights selectively secured within some of the openings.
2.
The invention of claim 1 wherein the third bar is generally parallel to the first bars.
3.
The invention of claim 2 wherein the polygonal frame has a generally rectangular plan configuration, while the first bars intersect the second bars at corners, and is relatively thin in elevation.
4.
The invention of claim 3 wherein the third bar has opposite ends and each end is spaced from a corresponding second bar.
5.
The invention of claim 4 wherein the web members extend from the opposite ends of the third bar toward the first bars.
6.
The invention of claim 5 wherein the web members extend toward each corner such that the openings have a generally trapezoid-like configuration.
7.
The invention of claim 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 wherein the weights each have a peripheral configuration generally complementary to the peripheral configuration of a corresponding opening, the weights including securing means for interengaging with complementary portions of the frame to secure the weights in place.
8.
The invention of claim 7 wherein the corresponding openings within which the weights are secured are located between a second bar and the third bar
