An exercise apparatus for use with a chair, the chair having a base, a pedestal, and a seat, the exercise apparatus includes a support assembly adapted to removably attach to the pedestal, an elongate resilient member having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion with the proximal end portion being adjacent to the support assembly. Further, on the distal end portion is an attachment element, wherein the attachment element is adapted to removably engage to a portion of human anatomy for the purpose of exercise by extending of the elongate resilient member by moving the attachment element away from the support assembly causing a resistive force at the attachment element. Wherein, operationally the elongate resilient member has substantially free omni-directional movement by not contacting the seat when being used for exercise.

The invention claimed is: 1. An exercise apparatus for use with a chair, the chair having a base, a pedestal having a lengthwise axis, and a seat having an outer margin portion, said exercise apparatus comprising: (a) a support assembly in the form of a split clam shell that includes a pair of outer removably attachable semicircular lengthwise split clam shell halves that are adjacent to one another at a split line that is adapted to removably attach to the pedestal, said split clamshell halves also including a split resilient liner being operational to substantially accommodate differing pedestal sizes, said support assembly also to be substantially adjustably interposed, sized and configured to be solely secured to the pedestal perpendicular to said lengthwise axis via a radial clamping force, said support assembly also includes an extension with a first end portion that is adjacent to said support assembly and a second end portion that is formed into a continuous outer periphery portion that extends outward, being substantially perpendicular to the chair pedestal lengthwise axis and extending to being approximately adjacent to the seat outer margin portion, said continuous outer periphery portion includes a plurality of asymmetric apertures disposed within said continuous outer periphery portion; (b) a means for removably engaging from the pedestal said split clamshell halves, (c) a plurality of elongate resilient members that each have a different spring rate for a different resistive force, each elongate resilient member includes a longitudinal axis, further each said elongate resilient member having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, each said proximal end portion is adjacent to, a single aperture that is disposed within said outer periphery portion, wherein operationally each said elongate resilient member has free omnidirectional movement by not contacting the seat outer margin portion when said longitudinal axis is substantially parallel to said lengthwise axis; and (d) a plurality of attachment elements each adjacent to each said distal end portion, wherein each said attachment element is adapted to removably engage to a portion of human anatomy for the purpose of exercise by extending along said longitudinal axis of each said elongate resilient member by moving each said attachment element away from said outer periphery portion causing a different resistive force at each said attachment element with each said resistive force wholly determined by a spring rate of each said elongate resilient member, wherein said plurality of elongate resilient members and attachment elements are operational to further increase a number of exercises accommodated for a user. 2. An exercise apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said means includes a plurality of fasteners that are adjacent to said split line. 3. An exercise apparatus according to claim 1 wherein each said attachment element is sized and configured to be a handgrip. 4. A method for using an exercise apparatus adapted for use with a chair, the chair having a base, a pedestal having a lengthwise axis, and a seat having an outer margin portion, wherein a user is adjacent to the chair, which comprises the steps of: (a) providing said exercise apparatus that includes a support assembly in the form of a split clam shell that includes a pair of outer removably attachable semicircular lengthwise split clam shell halves that are adjacent at a split line that is adapted to removably attach to the pedestal, said split clamshell halves also including a split resilient liner being operational to substantially accommodate differing pedestal sizes, said support assembly also to be substantially adjustably interposed, sized and configured to be solely secured to the pedestal perpendicular to said lengthwise axis solely via a radial clamping force, said support assembly also includes an extension with a first end portion that is adjacent to said support assembly and a second end portion that is formed into a continuous outer periphery portion that extends outward, being substantially perpendicular to the chair pedestal lengthwise axis and extending to being approximately adjacent to the seat outer margin portion, said continuous outer periphery portion includes a plurality of asymmetric apertures disposed within said continuous outer periphery portion, further included is a means for removably engaging said split clamshell halves from the pedestal, also included is a plurality of elongate resilient members that each have a different spring rate for a different resistive force, each elongate resilient member includes a longitudinal axis, further each said elongate resilient member having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion in which each said proximal end portion is able to removably engage a single aperture of said plurality of apertures via a single removably engagable latching hook disposed within said aperture on an said continuous outer periphery portion of said support assembly, for a plurality of latching hooks and apertures, each said distal end portion further includes a removable attachment that is adapted to removably engage to a portion of human anatomy; (b) engaging removably said support assembly by substantially encasing the pedestal of the chair without obstructing movement of the pedestal along said lengthwise axis during a selectable adjustment of distance between the base and the seat by the user; (c) engaging removably each said latching hook to each said aperture for each of said plurality of latching hooks and apertures; (d) engaging removably by the user each said portion of human anatomy to each said removable attachment for a plurality of portions of human anatomy and removable attachments; and (e) pulling by the user on said plurality of removable attachments to have a plurality of extension movements of said elongate resilient members away from said support assembly such that said longitudinal axis and said lengthwise axis are substantially parallel to one another, wherein said plurality of elongate resilient members does not contact the chair seat outer margin portion resulting in a plurality of resistive forces from differing spring rates of said plurality of elongate resilient members without obstruction, resulting in to further increase a number of exercises accommodated for a user by simultaneously exercising a plurality of portions of human anatomy from different positions along said continuous periphery at different resistive forces.
