Exercise kit, apparel item and method of using same

An a muscle toning kit, comprising:

• a substantially flat, wrap-around foundation article of clothing of a desired shape and function to help facilitate the exercise of at least one muscle group of a user;
• said foundation article of clothing having adjustable tensioning means for overlaying said at least one muscle group of the user and for facilitating the applying of a user adjustable compression tension against said at least one muscle group of the user;
• and
• said foundation article of clothing further having a plurality of resilient memory members for facilitating the providing of dynamic tensioning and compressing against said at least one muscle group through natural extension and flexing actions of the user.

A method of exercising, comprising the steps of:

• providing a substantially flat wrap-around exercise garment adapted to be worn over an article of clothing worn by a user, said exercise garment having a desired shape and function to help facilitate the exercise of at least one muscle group of the user;
• said exercise garment including:
• a first resistance article to facilitate the exercise of at least one muscle group of the user;
• said first resistance article having a pressure opposing structure with a range of user selected resistance levels wherein the user maneuvers the pressure opposing structure of said first resistance article by exerting an operating pressure thereupon to facilitate conditioning or developing of said at least one muscle group of the user;
• a second resistance article configured to cooperate with and overlay said first resistance article to further facilitate the exercise of said at least one muscle group of the user;
• said second resistance article having another pressure opposing structure with another range of user selected resistance levels wherein the user maneuvers the pressure opposing structure of said second resistance article by exerting an operating pressure thereupon to facilitate conditioning or developing of said at least one muscle group of the user;
• and
• wearing said wrap-around exercise garment;
• and deforming said wrap-around exercise garment from its original shape through natural extension and flexing actions of the user to facilitate providing a resistive force to condition or develop said at least one muscle group of the user.
