A compact portable exercise machine includes elastic resistance members which are distended or compressed by only a limited amount in order to extend the operational life of the resistance members. Although the elastic resistance members are distended only a relatively short distance during an exercise, the pulled system utilized to distend the elastic members permits a comparatively large range of motion by the individual performing the exercise. The portability of the exercise machine permits it to be readily positioned to perform a relatively large range of exercise. |
