The present invention relates to a device and method of use thereof for lower leg strengthening, particularly for strengthening the anterior tibialis. In one form, the device includes: a foot mount for mounting to a foot of a user, said foot mount including a pair of opposed side plates and at least two rods interconnecting the opposed side plates, at least one of said two rods including an actuating mechanism for tightening and loosening the opposed side plates about the foot of the user; and a weight mount operatively associated with the foot mount and configured to mount one or more weights thereon. In use, the device is configured to provide resistance to dorsiflexion of the foot of the user.

An exercise weight bag is configured to be filled with a weight material, such as a granular material. In some configurations, the weight bag is sized and shaped to be received in a receptacle of a tactical-style vest. The weight bag can include a baffle that limits separation of a front panel and a rear panel. The weight bag can include one or more reinforcement panels that are more rigid than the front and rear panels to provide shape to the weight bag. The weight bag can include top and/or side adjustment features to allow for adjustment of a height and/or width of the weight bag.

A concealed weight incorporating upper body garment includes a weighted layer concealed beneath an outer layer to allow a user to obtain a fitness or anxiety related benefit while the outer layer conceals the weight, does not exhibit drooping effects from the weight, and can be made of a variety of material regardless of the weight capacity of such material. The weighted layer having weighted packets containing weighted material within. In embodiments, the weighted packets attach to or are formed from the weighted layer around a lower portion thereof. The weighted material fully fills the weighted packets to prevent shifting in an embodiment. The weighted packets form a grid pattern along the weighted layer to balance the weight in another embodiment. The garment also alternatively includes an additional lining layer affixed to the outer layer with the weighted layer and weighted packets between. The garment also having access areas to add, remove, or change out weighted packets when the packets are removably attached to the weighted layer.
