Abstract
A fabric-like, elastic, exercise resistance band with first and second ends, permanently affixed to the end of each leg section of an exercise pant garment that extends to at least just below the knee area. The resistance bands comprise a resilient material and offer no resistance when formed to each leg, out of the way for everyday activities. When the resistance bands are unformed and fastened together by way of a locking canister affixed to each resistance band, the muscles of the lower body, primarily the inner thighs and buttocks, may be stimulated as the legs are moved further apart during a resistance exercise program.
Claims20
An exercise pant garment comprising:
- an upwardly disposed waist,
- a seat spaced apart from and connected to a pant front,
- the seat and the pant front connected to the waist,
- two spaced apart leg sections connected to the seat and the pant front, and
- an elongated fabric, exercise band coupled to each leg section, wherein the exercise band comprises a first free end, a second free end, and a portion between the first and second free ends permanently fixed about a knee area of the leg section of the exercise pant garment,
- wherein the first and/or second free end of the exercise band independently comprise
- a length sufficient to extend around the knee area and attach to the first and/or second free end of the exercise band of the other leg section, spanning the space between the leg sections to provide sufficient resistance to the movement of the legs away from each other to stimulate muscles of the lower body during a resistance exercise program, and/or
- a length sufficient to couple to a stationary object, spanning the space between the leg section and stationary object to provide sufficient resistance to the movement of the leg away from the stationary object to stimulate muscles of the lower body during a resistance exercise program.
A method of performing an exercise program wherein a user does a primary exercise involving repeated side to side movement of the user's legs, the method comprising:
- providing an exercise pant garment comprising:
- an upwardly disposed waist,
- a seat spaced apart from and connected to a pant front,
- the seat and the pant front connected to the waist,
- two spaced apart leg sections connected to the seat and the pant front, and
- a pair of elongated fabric, exercise resistance bands each having first and second free ends and coupled about a knee area of one of the leg sections of the exercise pant garment,
- wherein the first and/or second free end of the exercise band independently comprise
- a length sufficient to extend around the knee area and attach to the first and/or second free end of the exercise band of the other leg section, spanning the space between the leg sections to provide sufficient resistance to the movement of the legs away from each other to stimulate muscles of the lower body during a resistance exercise program, and/or
- a length sufficient to couple to a stationary object, spanning the space between the leg section and stationary object to provide sufficient resistance to the movement of the leg away from the stationary object to stimulate muscles of the lower body during a resistance exercise program.
