ABSTRACT:
A bearable exercise weight is disclosed. Several versions of the invention are disclosed, each providing a limb encircling weight having an adjustable restraint which holds the weight in a circular configuration about the distal end of a limb. An anchoring structure, in the form of a sock, shoe or glove, is also provided, and functions to keep the weight in place at the end of the limb. Several structures are disclosed which function as means of attachment, connecting the anchoring structure to the limb encircling weight. One version of the invention provides an ankle encircling weight unit with a strip of each sex of VELCRO lengthwise along its lower portion and tabs with shoe lace holes at each end of the unit. A strip of VELCRO provides similar strips of each sex of VELCRO and is adhered to the collar of the shoe. The strip folds from a first position whereby the strips are engaged by each other, to a second position where the strips engage the strips on the ankle encircling weight unit. The user then laces the shoe's existing shoe laces through the lace holes on the tabs and secures the unit in place.
