Material for Enhancing the Effects of Exercise

A method for inducing a person to use additional muscles and to hold the additional muscles, their joints and their body in a proper alignment providing proprioceptive feedback to their central nervous system (“CNS”) when gripping a barbell, a dumbbell or other like weight or resistance equipment during physical exercise, the method comprising:

• a) the person wearing a glove on a hand, the glove comprising at least one compressible protrusion disposed on the glove extending outwardly from an exterior surface thereof, wherein the at least one compressible protrusion extends away from the hand when the hand is placed in the glove, wherein the exterior surface further comprises a plurality of phalange regions comprising the at least one compressible protrusion extending outwardly therefrom, wherein the at least one compressible protrusion extends away from the hand when the hand is placed in the glove, wherein each of the plurality of phalange regions comprises a dorsal phalange region and wherein the at least one compressible protrusion comprises a first dorsal compressible protrusion and a second dorsal compressible protrusion each extending outwardly from at least one of the dorsal phalange regions of the plurality of phalange regions, wherein the at least one compressible protrusion extends away from the hand when the hand is placed in the glove;
• and
• b) creating instability during the gripping of the barbell or the dumbbell with the at least one compressible protrusion being compressed as the person is gripping the barbell or the dumbbell with the hand during the physical exercise thereby causing the person to use the additional muscles and to hold the additional muscles, the joints and the body in the proper alignment providing the proprioceptive feedback to the CNS.
