ABSTRACT:
A vest or garment is made of two independent halves which are removably connectable to each other. Each half has a body portion having an inner surface and an outer surface, and a shoulder loop extending up from the body to position the body portion of each half below an underarm of a person wearing the vest. At least one pocket is formed on the body portion to enable the vest to removably receive a weight. To connect the two halves together, so that the garment may be worn, an upper strap extends from the shoulder loop and a lower strap extending from the body portion. The upper straps are adapted to be connected to each other to extend across the person's back and the lower straps are adapted to be connected to each other to extend across the person's abdomen.
