ABSTRACT:
A weight apparatus adapted to be worn on the shank position of either the arm or the leg and the associated method of attaching such a weight apparatus to the body. The weight apparatus includes at least one weight between one half pound and ten pounds. A biasing device is used to bias the weight against the shank portion of the limb. The biasing device biases the weight in a specific orientation whereby the weight is held against the shank in the region where the predominant bone in the shank is most discernable. By biasing the weight in such a position, there is little muscle or tendons disposed between the weight and the bone. As a result, as the muscles and tendons in the shank are flexed, there is little change in the shape of the surface against which the weight rests. As a result, the weight can be worn comfortably in a manner that does not restrict the natural movements of any muscles or tendons within the limb. Additionally, by positioning the weight on a consistent region of the shank, the weight can be firmly retained in one position, despite any movements of the limbs.
