Exercise in zero gravity through use of hook's law

Supposedly people are atrophying in outer space because of lack of force due to gravity

Years ago I heard of complicated equipment and expensive research done to deal with lack of force from gravity in outer space

Years ago the very first time I heard this after hearing about hook's law (not neccessarily the first time I heard it but the first time I heard it after also hearing about hook's law which may have been months or years after hearing about hook's law) I immediately probably within less than a minute and certainly within less than an hour thought this is is silly the answer is already solved you can just produce force to resist without gravity using hook's law

Stretching a object like a spring you can produce force equal to a constant times the length it is displaced there is no exception to this in zero gravity

Instead of lifting weights against gravity in outer space people can use resistance bands as substitutes these resistance bands have already been invented.

 These resistance bands can be bought online for very cheap, probably for $5 to $35 for one resistance band or a set of many resistance bands between the years of 2008 and 2018 it might be more expensive prior to online shopping or after the post 2019 inflation

These resistance bands were very common in gyms and physical therapy studios between 2008 and 2018

The fact that I have heard of very expensive or exotic equipment in outer space but not these gravity independent resistance bands being mentioned in classes, product demonstrations and on the news is frankly bizzarre.  Maybe it is so obvious nobody bothered to mention it.  

Maybe people already know the simple solution but want to make a lot of money with exotic research.

Now there is a benefit to these exotic machines resistance bands might not have and that is some of them might be better for aerobic exercise in terms of lack of boredom

For me personally I prefer aerobic exercise to be done with gait type exercise not weight lifting.  By gait type I mean walking, bicyclying, elyptical, running, jogging something the represents parambulation or traveling for the purpose of aerobic exercise in style.  Not neccessarily traveling but the style of traveling since doing so on a exercise machine may involve a stationary bike or walking or jogging in place.

Some of the exotic devices I have heard of involve vibration or so called using inertia.  The use of the term inertia is often used incorrectly but people describing the devices claim they are inertia based.  

Even though I have not heard of resistance bands used in space by news or by other people I did a search to see if this was already done and it supposedly has been although I thought of the idea before 2008, it would not surprise me if other people did also, but I might have accidentally not gotten credit for it if I mentioned it in passing although it is unlikely I was the first to come up with this idea given how obvious a solution it should be.

That being said some but not neccessarily all of the space footage is fake.  So I do not personally know if people really have traveled to outer space and experienced zero gravity.  Fake space footage does not disprove real space travel.  A hypothetical absense of real space footage would not prove real space travel either though.
