An exercise resistance cable apparatus for engagement with an activity bay of a support structure. The exercise resistance cable apparatus includes a plurality of serially connected cable/anchor modules. A first of the cable/anchor modules includes a first elastic exercise resistance cable; and, a first cable expansion anchor securely connected to a first end of the elastic exercise resistance cable. Subsequent cable/anchor modules include associated exercise resistance cables and cable expansion anchors. A hand grip is connected to a second end of the first elastic exercise resistance cable. The exercise resistance cable apparatus is particularly adapted to be used with an exercise chair having a frame with a plurality of activity bays positioned at desired locations thereon. The activity bays have slots formed therein that are disposed at the desired orientations for engagement with a cable expansion anchor of an exercise resistance cable apparatus.

The invention claimed is: 1. An exercise system, comprising: a) an exercise chair having activity bays secured thereto at shoulder height level on a chair frame and ankle height level on the chair frame, said activity bays each having a slot formed therein; and, b) at least one exercise resistance cable apparatus for engagement within said slot of said activity bay, comprising: i. at least one cable/anchor module, comprising: 1. a first elastic exercise resistance cable; and, 2. a first cable expansion anchor securely connected, at a first end, to a first end of said elastic exercise resistance cable, comprising: a. a shaft; b. a first radially extending flange on said shaft; and, c. a second radially extending flange on said shaft, said second radially extending flange being longitudinally spaced from said first flange; and ii. a hand grip connected to a second end of said first elastic exercise resistance cable, wherein said shaft is engageable with said slot of said activity bay, relative movement therebetween being restricted by said first and second flanges. 2. The exercise system of claim 1 wherein said at least one cable/anchor module comprises a plurality of cable/anchor modules being serially connected to provide a desired user length and resistance. 3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein each said cable expansion anchor is spool shaped. 4. An exercise system, comprising: a) an exercise chair comprising a chair frame having a first side and a second side, said chair frame including four legs for support; b) a plurality of activity bays secured to said chair frame, comprising: i. a first activity bay positioned near an upper end of said first side of said chair frame at approximately shoulder height level at the seat back region of said chair frame; ii. a second activity bay positioned near an upper end of said second side of said chair frame at approximately shoulder height level at the seat back region of said chair frame; iii. a third activity bay positioned near a lower end of said first side of said chair frame at approximately ankle height level, at one of two front legs of said chair frame; and, iv. a fourth activity bay positioned near a lower end of said second side of said chair frame at approximately ankle height level, at a second of said two front legs of said chair frame; and, c) at least one exercise resistance cable apparatus for engagement with a selected one of said activity bays, comprising: i. an elastic exercise resistance cable engageable with said selected one of said activity bays; and, ii. a hand grip connected to an end of said elastic exercise resistance cables wherein, said exercise resistance cable apparatus engages within a slot of an activity bay of said chair frame, said exercise resistance cable apparatus, comprising: a) a first cable/anchor module, comprising: i) said elastic exercise resistance cable; and, ii) a first cable expansion anchor securely connected, at a first end, to a first end of said elastic exercise resistance cable, comprising: a. a shaft; b. a first radially extending flange on said shaft; and, c. a second radially extending flange on said shaft, said second radially extending flange being longitudinally spaced from said first flange; and b) said hand grip connected to a second end of said first elastic exercise resistance cable, wherein said shaft is engageable with a slot of an activity bay, relative movement therebetween being restricted by said first and second flanges. 5. The system of claim 4 further comprising: at least one additional cable/anchor module connected to said first cable/anchor module, said cable/anchor modules being serially connected to provide a desired user length and resistance. 6. The system of claim 5 wherein said at least one additional cable/anchor modules comprises two additional cable/anchor modules. 7. The system of claim 5 wherein said at least one additional cable/anchor modules comprises three additional cable/anchor modules. 8. The system of claim 4 wherein said cable expansion anchor is spool shaped.
