               Application No. 08/116,355                                                                                          


                       outwardly and away from the vertical and the last mentioned plane, and back to                              
                       said first position.                                                                                        
                       The method of claim 41 includes the step of "assuming a lying position on the person's                      
               side with one leg extended adjacent the surface upon which the person is lying."  Claim 46                          
               requires, inter alia, the step of "simultaneously moving the hips upwardly against the elongate                     
               stretchable element."  Claim 47 recites a method comprising, inter alia, the step of "assuming a                    
               sitting position with the knees bent and spaced outwardly from each other and the feet                              
               together."  The method of claim 51 includes the step of moving the leg to which the elongated                       
               element is attached "from a first position in which the leg is closely adjacent a plane bisecting                   
               the head and hips .  .  .  to a second position outwardly and away from the last mentioned                          
               plane."                                                                                                             
                       Claim 50 requires, inter alia, the steps of:                                                                
                              extending the leg to which the resilient stretchable element is attached to                          
                       substantially full length to stretch and elongate the element;                                              
                              swinging the extended leg and the extended element from a first position                             
                       in which the leg is closely adjacent a plane bisecting the head and hips of the                             
                       person exercising to a second position outwardly and away from the last                                     
                       mentioned plane; and                                                                                        
                              wherein the person exercising is lying on the person's side with the                                 
                       extended leg having a pair of resilient stretchable elements attached thereto                               
                       .  .  .  and said extended leg is swung backward at the knee from said first                                
                       position to said second position while bending the knee and back to said first                              
                       position.
