CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority from U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60/837,539, filed Aug. 14, 2006, which is titled "Road Buddy", and which is hereby incorporated by reference and U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60/936,212, filed Jun. 19, 2007, which is titled "Hideaway Fitness Buddy", and which is hereby incorporated by reference. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to exercise equipment and particularly to exercise devices which can be used by an individual desiring to work out. The exercise device relates more specifically to an exercise device which can be mounted on a wall or floor having one or more extendable bands. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Anyone looking to purchase exercise equipment will quickly find that exercise equipment and apparatus consume a lot of space. Conventional exercise equipment may include a set of weights, weight bench, resistance band machine, treadmill, step-master and stationary bicycle. Such equipment can easily occupy fifty or more square feet for even the most basic set of equipment. Unfortunately, many situations do not allow for an individual to designate such a large amount of floor space to such equipment. [0004] Various types of exercise devices have been designed and constructed to assist individuals in fitness programs. These range from relatively complex, heavy and expensive devices such as universal gymnasium apparatus and exercise tables to small step boxes, barbells and other weights, and various kinds of strength and flexibility building equipment. Some of this equipment is stationary and some portable, and much of it is limited in use to one or a few specialized exercises. There are currently no devices on the market which allow a user to simultaneously perform cardiovascular and strength exercises. [0005] One place in particular where floor space is particularly limited is in the cabs of tractor trailers. Such locations are typically about twenty square feet and must be useable space for other purposes such as providing a sleeping area, refrigerator, storage etc. In such locations, there is simply no space to designate for a work-out only exercise area. [0006] Another disadvantage of current work out machines is that they do not permit a user to simultaneously perform cardiovascular and strength exercises. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] The present invention is directed to a novel exercise device which allows an individual to work-out using extendable bands. In some embodiments, exercise devices according to the present invention may occupy a minimum of floor area and room volume. The devices may be constructed to various dimensions and configurations to fit into a multitude of locations. In some embodiments a user can simultaneously perform a strength workout and a cardiovascular work out. In various embodiments a user can work out using one or more extendable bands while walking, jogging, or running on a treadmill, peddling on a stationary bicycle, or stepping on a step-machine or elliptical machine. [0008] According to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the device comprises a first front vertical member, a second front vertical member, a first front horizontal member, a second front horizontal member, a first rear vertical member, a second rear vertical member, a first rear horizontal member, a second rear horizontal member, a first spacer, a second spacer, a third spacer, and a fourth spacer wherein at least one elastic band extendably connected to the frame at one end and said at least one elastic band having a handle at a second end.
