ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Various garments have been suggested which include elastic elements to provide a resistance to an activity which would require swinging or bending of the arms or legs or the bending of various body parts. Examples of such garments are found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,109,546, 5,176,600, 5,186,701, 5,201,074, 5,306,222 and 5,570,472. It would be desirable if such aerobic resistance garments could be made which would be particularly intended for hot weather or indoor use so as to be more comfortable to wear under elevated temperature conditions.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of this invention is to provide aerobic resistance garments which include elastic bands as part of the garment.
A further object of this invention is to provide an exercise garment which is particularly useful for wearing under hot weather or temperature controlled indoor conditions.
In accordance with this invention the garment includes sections which would have different elastic characteristics so as to provide the resistance bands which require a greater resistance force to be overcome by the user while wearing the garment. The other sections of the garment are secured together to form a basic unit and the resistance bands are then incorporated into the unit.
The garment of this invention preferably includes a pants section having a body portion and leg portions and a shirt portion. The base fabric is made of a light weight, breathable material as compared to the resistance bands. Preferably, a mesh material is used for the base fabric and preferably the garment includes a bare midriff.
