An exercise device is provided for enabling a user to obtain a full body workout. By attaching the device at selected positions on the hands, feet, arms, legs, or torso, different muscle groups of a user's body can be isolated for training and strengthening purposes. The exercise device includes two or more pieces of tubing material fitted together in a telescoping manner. Pressurized air within the tubing provides a user with resistance to movement in order to tone and strengthen the muscles. At one end of the telescoping tubing material is a handgrip and at the other end is a strap of a suitable resilient or elastic material that allows a user to securely place a foot or hand in for exercise purposes.

What is claimed is: 1. An exercise device for allowing a user to obtain a full body workout, comprising:an innermost tubular member and an outermost tubular member, the tubular members fitted together and longitudinally and slidably moveable in a telescoping manner relative to each other during the workout;a chamber within the outermost tubular member, the chamber receiving a compressible gas that provides resistance to relative movement of the tubular members;a collar between the innermost tubular member and the outermost tubular member to allow gas in the chamber, the collar further having an inner diameter allowing relative longitudinal sliding telescoping movement between the innermost tubular member and the outermost tubular member by the user during the workout, the collar further allowing clearance with the innermost tubular member to govern pressure in the chamber and the amount of resistance to relative movement between the innermost and outermost tubular members;a lower limb connector attachment mounted to an end of one of the innermost or outermost tubular members for attachment to a lower limb of a user; anda gripping area at or near an opposite end of the other of the innermost and outmost tubular members to the lower limb connector attachment for allowing a user to grasp the gripping area of the device and cause relative longitudinal sliding telescoping movement of the tubular members between the lower limb connector attachment and the gripping area to stretch and strengthen the user's body muscles during the workout.
