A Kinder, Gentler Doggy Ring:

Tape pipe insulation to the dog ring that is mentioned in the Homemade Equipment site. With 2 rings combined with webbing the exercises in www.ringtraining.com can be done comfortably; the rings tend to pinch hands so the insulation minimizes the pinching.

The Mega Ring

Here's another outstanding isokinetic exerciser - an extra rubber reinforced mountain bike inner tube! With this device you could perform a plethora of exercises; hack squats, curls, the archer, stand on it and hold it behind your back with both hands and perform a bent over triceps extensions, back rows, loop it over a doorway and do triceps push-downs and other pull down exercises, hold it behind your back with one hand and grab the other end high up with the other hand and then spread spread your arms apart hitting the triceps from both directions, fold it up a few times and then wring it like a towel.

Hook it around a door knob and do a one arm press or triceps curl, or various pulling exercises.

Fold the Mega Ring over once for stronger resistance or for exercises requiring a shorter expanse.

The possibilities are virtually endless! Just great!

Here are a few ideas:

The Super Mega Ring

This particular solid-core tire will give you super resistance. Less elastic than the inner tube pictured above it, the Super Mega Ring is strong enough to hang from. Secure some wrist/ankle weights. Swing the Mega Ring much like you'd swing a Club or Tornado ball. Standing ab crunches can be perofrmed by looping the ring over a chinup bar. A person could come up with scores of exercise related uses for this monster!

Variable Resistance Isokinetic Exerciser

For this exerciser, tape together a bunch of elastic resistance cables or surgical tubing as shown. From there, simply grab a handful for any amount of resistance you want. You could wrap it around a chinup bar for pull-down exercises. No chinup bar? Tie a length of webbing around the center and create a big knot. Place the webbing over a door and then shut the door tightly.
