Exercising garment

Abstract

An exercising garment comprising resistance bands configured to stretch from a relaxed position to a resistance position. The resistance bands can be coupled to a modified pants. The pants may comprise an additional strip of fabric located within each pant leg defining a channel configured to receive and secure the integral exercising resistance bands. The resistance bands having a first end positioned at a location near the waist height of a user and a second end positioned at a location near the foot height of the user. The second end may include loops for removably inserting the user's feet.

         2 . The exercising garment as in  claim 1 , wherein the first location is near a waist height of the user and the second location is near a foot height of the user. 
     
     
         3 . The exercising garment as in  claim 2 , wherein the second end of the band further comprises a foot loop, the foot loop configured to receive a user's foot. 
     
     
         4 . The exercising garment as in  claim 3 , further comprising:
 a modified pants, the pants having two legs, each leg having an interior surface, an exterior surface, a first end, a second end opposite the first end and a middle portion connecting the first end to the second end;   
       wherein the first end of the resistance band is configured to be coupled to the first end of the leg, the resistance band having a length longer than a length of the leg. 
     
     
         5 . The exercising garment as in  claim 4 , wherein the first end of the resistance band is configured to be coupled to the first end of each leg through a fastener. 
     
     
         6 . The exercising garment as in  claim 5 , wherein each leg defines a slit and an aperture located near the first end of the leg, wherein the aperture is configured to receive the fastener, wherein the fastener is located at the exterior surface of the leg. 
     
     
         7 . The exercising garment as in  claim 4 , further comprising strips, the strips configured to be coupled to the interior surface of the leg, defining a channel. 
     
     
         8 . The exercising garment as in  claim 7 , wherein the channel is configured to receive at least one resistance band and to hold the middle portion of the at least one resistance band between the strips and the interior surface of the leg. 
     
     
         9 . The exercising garment as in  claim 7 , wherein the strips are made of fabric or any other suitable material. 
     
     
         10 . An exercising garment comprising:
 pants, having two pants legs, wherein an additional strip of fabric is located within each pant leg defining a channel; and   integral resistance bands having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a middle portion connecting the first end to the second end, the first end configured to be coupled near the waist height of the pants and the second end including loops for removably inserting a user's feet.   
     
     
         11 . The exercising garment as in  claim 10 , wherein the pants are produced from a fabric selected from the group consisting of a blend of polyester, nylon, and spandex. 
     
     
         12 . The exercising garment as in  claim 10 , wherein the integral resistance bands are made from a heavy-duty latex rubber, a medical grade resistant rubber, or the like. 
     
     
         13 . The exercising garment as in  claim 10 , wherein the integral resistance bands offer various levels of resistance. 
     
     
         14 . The exercising garment as in  claim 10 , wherein the additional strips of fabric are located adjacent to the exterior surface of each pant leg or adjacent to the interior surface of each pant leg. 
     
     
         15 . A method of exercising comprising the steps of:
 providing a resistance band having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a middle portion connecting the first end to the second end;   coupling the first end of the band near a waist height of a user;   coupling the second end of the band to a foot of the user;   encouraging the user to move more frequently.   
     
     
         16 . The method as in  claim 15 , further comprising the step of:
 mimicking leg extensions; and   working out various muscles of the user, wherein the various muscles are selected from the group consisting of rectus femoris, vastus medialis, and vastus lateralis.   
     
     
         17 . The method as in  claim 15 , further comprising the step of:
 stretching the band against extension of the leg.   
     
     
         18 . The method as in  claim 15 , further comprising the step of:
 encouraging the user to move frequently to improve circulation and reduce chance of blood clots forming.   
     
     
         19 . The method as in  claim 15 , further comprising the step of:
 encouraging physical activity while the user is in a seated position.
