Abstract
A resistance exercise suit for providing a resistance to movement to exercise the wearer's muscles. The resistance exercise suit includes a body suit to which at least one resilient rib is secured for biasing a selected body portion in a preselected position such that when the wearer moves the body portion, he experiences resistance. The resilient rib is tailorable to a particular individual's needs, and specifically, the shape, length, thickness and resistance are alterable properties.
