ABSTRACT:
A joggers belt includes a waist band of a resilient material. The band mounts a series of pouches having weight elements within them. The band is configured so that as the jogger moves the weight elements tend to compress the band so that the full force of the weight elements is applied to the jogger's skeleton over a period of time thereby reducing the maximum forces that are applied to the jogger's joints. This result is supported and improved by forming the band with a triangular cross section so that the weights are tilted with respect to the joggers waist. In one embodiment, the weights are spring mounted so as to further extend the force timing of the belt.
