The present application includes various embodiments of apparatuses, systems, kits, and methods for physical exercise of a user. Some embodiments, for example, include an apparatus comprising: a strap having a first end, a second end, a length between the first end and the second end, the strap having an elastic portion between and spaced apart from the first end and the second end; a first handle configured to be coupled to the strap on a first side of the elastic portion such that the first handle is spaced apart from the elastic portion; a second handle configured to be coupled to the strap on a second side of the elastic portion such that the second handle is spaced apart from the elastic portion; and one or more suspension members configured to be coupled (i) to the strap at a first point between the elastic portion and the first handle, and at a second point between the elastic portion and the second handle, and (ii) to be coupled to a supporting structure.

1. An apparatus comprising: a substantially-inelastic first strap segment;a substantially-inelastic second strap segment;an elastic third strap segment disposed between the first strap segment and the second strap segment;one or more suspension members configured to be coupled to each of the first strap segment, the second strap segment, and a supporting structure, such that the third strap segment and at least portions of the first and second strap segments together form at least part of U shape onto which a portion of a user can be positioned;a first adjuster coupled to the first strap segment and configured to slide along at least a portion of the first strap segment to adjust the position of the one or more suspension members along the at least a portion of the first strap segment; anda second adjuster coupled to the second strap segment and configured to slide along at least a portion of the second strap segment to adjust the position of the one or more suspension members along the at least a portion of the second strap segment. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, where the third strap segment comprises at least one of: natural rubber, synthetic rubber, or a combination thereof. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, where the elastic segment comprises a plurality of strands of material. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, where the first substantially inelastic segment and second substantially inelastic segment are each configured to be removably coupled to the elastic segment. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, further comprising: a first connector configured to couple the first substantially-inelastic segment to the elastic segment; anda second connector configured to couple the second substantially-inelastic segment to the elastic segment. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, where the first and second adjusters are each configured such that (i) if the adjuster is in a first configuration, the adjuster will slide relative to the strap; and (ii) if the adjuster is in a second configuration, the adjuster will resist sliding relative to the strap. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, where the first and second adjusters are configured to remain in the second configuration if there is tension in a portion of the strap between the adjuster and the elastic portion. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, further comprising: a first locking member coupled to the one or more suspension members and coupled to the strap to resist sliding of the first adjuster relative to the strap in the absence of tension in the portion of the strap between the first adjuster and the elastic portion; anda second locking member coupled to the one or more suspension members and coupled to the strap to resist sliding of the second adjuster relative to the strap in the absence of tension in the portion of the strap between the second adjuster and the elastic portion. 9. The apparatus of claim 6, where the first and second adjusters each comprises: a body having an opening disposed in a first plane, and a pair of spaced-apart slots each disposed in a second plane that is not parallel to the first plane; anda rod configured to extend between and into each of the spaced-apart slots such that the rod is slidable relative to the body;where the strap extends through the opening twice and around the rod. 10. The apparatus of claim 1, where the one or more suspension members comprise: a first suspension member having a first end and a second end, the first end configured to be coupled to the first strap segment, and the second end configured to be coupled to a supporting structure; anda second suspension member having a first end and a second end, the first end configured to be coupled to the second strap segment, and the second end configured to be coupled to a supporting structure. 11. The apparatus of claim 9, further comprising: a first connector coupled to second end of the first suspension member and configured to couple the first suspension member to a supporting structure; anda second connector coupled to second end of the second suspension member and configured to couple the second suspension member to a supporting structure. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a first handle configured to be coupled to the first strap segment such that the first handle is spaced from the third strap segment; anda second handle configured to be coupled to the second strap segment such that the second handle is spaced from the third strap segment. 13. The apparatus of claim 1, where the U-shape is configured to receive the feet of a user such that the third strap segment can assist the user in performing pull-ups from the supporting structure. 14. The apparatus of claim 1, where the U-shape is configured to receive the trunk of a user such that the elastic portion can assist the user in performing push-ups from the ground or from the handles. 15. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a supporting structure having a bar to which the one or more suspension members can be coupled. 16. A kit comprising: an apparatus of claim 4, where the elastic segment is a first elastic segment; andan additional elastic segment. 17. The kit of claim 16, where the alternate elastic segment has a higher modulus of elasticity than the first elastic segment. 18. A method comprising: coupling the one or more suspension members of the apparatus of claim 1 to a supporting structure with the third strap segment and at least portions of the first and second strap segments together forming a U-shape. 19. The method of claim 18 further comprising: positioning at least one foot of a user onto the U-shape and performing pull-ups such that the elastic portion assists the user in performing the pull-ups. 20. The method of claim 18 further comprising: positioning the trunk of a user onto the U-shape and performing push-ups such that the elastic portion assists the user in performing the push-ups. 21. The method of claim 18, further comprising: adjusting at least one of: the length of the first portion and the length of the second portion.
