TECHNICAL AREA [0001] This invention relates to the area of exercise and training methods and In particular, to a method of resistance training which involves a pair of people working in cooperation with one another to train without weights. BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION [0002] In many sports, resistance training is used to increase the power, strength or muscle size of the athlete. Conventionally, to perform resistance training a person would employ the use of gymnasium type equipment. This equipment has provided different weights which provide resistance when a user is exercising or training a particular muscle group. [0003] The disadvantage with this resistance training equipment is that, they tend to be bulky and expensive due to the large number of parts required to define the path of movement for a person's limbs as Well as providing the variable resistance to this movement. These problems have rendered such devices as impractical for use by many. Accordingly, a resistance regime which helps people to increase their power and agility, and is comparatively inexpensive and portable would be highly desirable. OUTLINE OF THE INVENTION [0004] It is an object of the present invention to overcome or substantially ameliorate the disadvantages of the prior art by providing a method and apparatus for resistance training which enables a pair of people to work in cooperation with one another to increase their muscular power, strength, power, tone and agility. [0005] The invention provides a method of resistance training wherein two people work in cooperation with each other using their own muscles against one another to provide resistance using limited apparatus such that the entire body can be exercised. [0006] It is preferred that a first apparatus may be a bar having a plurality of members located thereon which enable a person to grip the bar. [0007] It is further preferred that the hand grips be rotating hand grips. [0008] It is further preferred that the members be colour coded to indicate the correct positioning for each person to place their hands for various exercises. [0009] It is preferred that a second apparatus may be a strap member with means to be held by a person at either end thereof. [0010] It is further preferred that a third apparatus be a strap member having one end adapted to engage with a users leg. [0011] In order that the invention may be more readily understood we will describe by way of non limiting example specific embodiment thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIGURES [0012] FIG. 1 Shows commencement of an upright chest press; [0013] FIG. 2 Shows a continuation of the upright chest press; [0014] FIG. 3 Shows a double cable row; [0015] FIG. 4 Shows commencement of single leg extension; [0016] FIG. 5 Shows second phase of single leg extension; DESCRIPTION OF AN EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION [0017] A first aspect of the invention provides a method of resistance training. The method of training involves a pair of people working in cooperation together to complete a variety of exercise activities or training regimes. It is envisaged that any number of people may work together to complete these activities so long as the principles outlined by the invention are followed. [0018] The method of the invention provides a series of exercise activities, each of which is designed to target a particular muscle group, and is intended to work in a similar manner to that of weight machines or equipment. In this way, a user is able to train one or more muscle groups through completion of the exercise activities. [0019] The method of the invention further includes a resistance means which does not involve the use of weights. In a preferred embodiment, the resistance means is the muscles of a second person being applied against the muscles of a first person. In order for there to be a sufficient resistance it would be necessary for the person applying the resistance to be of a similar strength or stronger than the other person. For both people to benefit when working as a pair it is preferable to have two people of a similar strength however, this is not essential as it is envisaged that the fulcrum of leverage can be adjusted to take differences of strength into account.
