An exercise fitness system involves an apparatus comprising a rigid
movable booster bar having two flexible elastic elements attached to the
booster with an attachment. The attachments are spaced from each other
and configured to allow winding the elastic element upon the booster bar
by rotating the booster bar. Each flexible elastic element comprises at
least two stages of flexible shock cords, with the stages disposed
serially along the length of the flexible element, with adjacent stages
having a different elastic stiffness.
