Abstract
Abstract In abstract a preferred embodiment of the present invention is a weighted device which is suitable for wearing about the body and appendages to build strength and for related purposes. The weighted devices of the present invention are preferably constructed of a plurality of elongated weights interconnected in spaced relation to each other and are encapsulated in a closed cell material with a soft vinyl coating which gives flexibility without bulging and eliminates bunching or shifting of the weights during violent exercises and movements.
