Abstract
Abstract In an elastic cable exerciser an improved bar is provided. The bar has a groove in its upper surface to receive the cable. The groove extends from one end to the other to provide a downward run of cable at each end of the bar. Finger-like projections at each end of the bar retain the cable so that the cable is wound up on the bar as the bar is rotated.
