To hold the furthest part of something


Explanation:
Hi there,

you have got this (tubing/bands).

You could hold "the last part or extremity, lengthwise, of anything that is longer than it is wide or broad"

Example: the end of a street; the end of a rope.

I hope this helps! ;)

Stef

Explanation:
The picture here:
https://fitmw.com/swiss-ball-legs/2/
does not have a tubing/band.

It should be something like this:
