An exercise suit includes a jacket and pants having numerous pockets. The pockets carry bags containing liquid to provide a weight load and massaging muscle stimulation during body movement. The pockets are so distributed about the user's body as to provide dynamic contact with externally exposed muscles. The bags are configured to be received within corresponding pockets of the suit and are formed of vinyl panels with dielectrically welded seams. A closure is provided to permit the user to fill each bag with a desired quantity of liquid, and the outer panel of each bag includes an insulating foam layer. To permit automatic adjustment for different body sizes, the sleeves and legs of the suit are longitudinally slit and an elastic strap draws the opposite edges of each slit toward one another thus maintaining the suit and its dynamic load in proximate contact with the user's limbs.
An exercise suit comprising a shell adapted to cover a majority of the externally accessible muscle groups of a wearer, means forming a plurality of units of pockets on the shell, each unit comprising at least one pocket in registration with a particular muscle area of the wearer, each pocket including a mouth, liquid carrying bags insertable into and removable from each pocket through the mouth, the liquid carrying bags providing a weight load to be borne by the wearer and a dynamically yieldable muscle stimulating force during body movement of the wearer.
