What is claimed is: 1. An exercise device comprising: a stretchable cord having opposing first and second ends, said cord having an internal cavity and an external surface; at least two sleeves, each of said sleeves being placed over said external surface of said cord adjacent said first and second ends of said cord, each of said plugs being situated within a length of each of said sleeves; at least two tethers, each of said tethers having a stitched portion, said stitched potion forming two opposing compartments, a first compartment having at least one grommet and is designed to receive at least one end of said cord with said sleeve, said grommet having a circumference that is smaller than a circumference of said cord with said sleeve, at least a portion of said cord and at least a portion of said sleeve being situated generally within said first compartment of said tether; at least two carabineers, each of said carabineers having a bottom portion and a gate element; at least two O-rings situated entirely within each of said bottom portions of each of said carabineers, each of said O-rings is designed to receive a portion of said second compartment of each of said tethers; at least one limit band situated within said internal cavity of said cord; and a means for securing said limit band within said internal cavity of said cord, said means being situated within said cord and said sleeve. 2. The device of claim 1 wherein said stitched portion is situated generally central of said tether, said stitched portion provides for reinforcement in strengthening said tether and said device when said cord is stretched. 3. The device of claim 1 wherein, each of said first compartments of said tether forms a loop, each of said loops is placed within each of said O-rings. 4. The device of claim 1 wherein said means for securing said limit band within said internal cavity of said cord is selected from a group consisting of dowels, plugs and combinations thereof. 5. The device of claim 1 wherein said limit band, said sleeve, said tether with said compartments and said means for securing said limit band assist in preventing said cord from breaking and snapping during stretching of said cord. 6. The device of claim 1 wherein said means for securing said limit band is situated within said first compartment of said tether and prevents said end of said cord and at least a portion of said sleeve from passing said grommet when said cord is stretched. 7. The device of claim 4 wherein said limit band has opposing ends, at least one end of said limit band is secured to said means for securing said limit band within said internal channel of said cord. 8. The device of claim 7 wherein said means for securing said limit band comprises a channel and one of said ends of said limit band passes through channel and secured to said means. 9. A resistance exercise device comprising: a stretchable cord having opposing first and second ends, said cord having an internal cavity and an external surface; at least one plug being inserted within said internal cavity of said cord adjacent said first end of said cord; at least one sleeve being placed over said external surface of said cord adjacent said first end of said cord, said plug being situated within a length of said sleeve; at least one tether having a stitched portion, said stitched potion forming two opposing compartments, a first compartment having at least one grommet and is designed to receive at least one end of said cord with said sleeve and said plug, said plug with at least a portion of said cord and at least a portion of said sleeve being situated generally within said first compartment of said tether, said second compartment forming a loop; at least one carabineer having a bottom portion and a gate element; at least one O-ring situated entirely within said bottom portion of said carabineer, said O-ring being designed to receive a portion of said second compartment of said tether; and at least one limit band situated within said internal cavity of said cord, said limit band having opposing ends, at least a portion of said first end of said limit band is secured to said plug. 10. The device of claim 9 further comprising a second plug and a second sleeve, said second plug being inserted within said internal cavity of said cord adjacent said second end of said cord, said second sleeve being placed over said external surface of said cord adjacent said second end of said cord, said second plug being situated within a length of said second sleeve, said second end of said limit band is secured to said second plug. 11. The device of claim 10 further comprising a second tether having a stitched portion, said stitched potion forming two opposing compartments, a first compartment having at least one grommet and is designed to received at least one end of said cord with said second sleeve and said second plug, said second plug with at least a portion of said cord and at least a portion of said second sleeve being situated generally within said first compartment of said tether, said second compartment forming a loop. 12. The device of claim 11 further comprising a second carabineer having a bottom portion and a gate element. 13. The device of claim 12 further comprising at least two O-ring, each O-ring being entirely situated within said bottom portion of each of said carabineers, said O-rings are designed to receive a portion of each of said loops of said second compartments of said tethers. 14. The device of claim 9 wherein said plug comprises a channel and one of said ends of said limit band passes through channel and secured to said means. 15. The device of claim 14 further comprising a washer situated adjacent said plug when said limit band is secured to said plug. 16. The device of claim 9 wherein said plug secures said limit band within said cord and said sleeve. 17. The device of claim 9 further comprises an apparatus designed to be attached to said carabineer for providing multiple exercise options, said apparatus being selected from a group consisting essentially of handles, loops, straps, bands, rings, rope, grips and combinations thereof. 18. The device of claim 9 wherein said tether comprises straps. 19. The device of claim 9 further comprising a plurality of combinable devices to form a system. 20. A resistance exercise device comprising: a stretchable cord having opposing first and second ends, said cord having an internal cavity and an external surface, each of said first and second ends being folded over itself to create double layered ends; at least one plug being inserted within said internal cavity of said cord adjacent said first end of said cord, said plug being situated within a length of said double layered cord; at least one tether having a stitched portion, said stitched potion forming two opposing compartments, a first compartment having at least one grommet and is designed to receive at least one end of said cord with said plug, said plug with at least a portion of said cord and at least a portion of said double layered cord being situated generally within said first compartment of said tether, said second compartment forming a loop; at least one carabineer having a bottom portion and a gate element; and at least one O-ring situated entirely within said bottom portion of said carabineer, said O-ring being designed to receive a portion of said second compartment of said tether; and at least one limit band situated within said internal cavity of said cord. 21. A resistance exercise device comprising: a stretchable cord having opposing first and second ends, said cord having an internal cavity and an external surface; at least two sleeves, each of said sleeves being placed over said external surface of said cord adjacent said first and second ends of said cord, each of said plugs being situated within a length of each of said sleeves; at least two tethers, each of said tethers having a stitched portion, said stitched potion forming two opposing compartments, a first compartment having at least one grommet and is designed to receive at least one end of said cord with said sleeve, said grommet having a circumference that is smaller than a circumference of said cord with said sleeve, at least a portion of said cord and at least a portion of said sleeve being situated generally within said first compartment of said tether; at least two carabineers, each of said carabineers having a bottom portion and a gate element; at least two O-rings situated entirely within each of said bottom portions of each of said carabineers, each of said O-rings is designed to receive a portion of said second compartment of each of said tethers; and at least one limit band situated within said internal cavity of said cord, said limit band having opposing ends, at least one end of said limit band being attached to said bottom portion of one of said carabineers.
