DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] References to “one embodiment”, “an embodiment”, “another embodiment”, “an example”, “another example”, “alternative embodiment”, “some embodiment”, “yet another embodiment”, and so on, indicate that the embodiment(s) or example(s) so described may include a particular feature, structure, characteristic, property, element, or limitation, but that not every embodiment or example necessarily includes that particular feature, structure, characteristic, property, element or limitation. Furthermore, repeated use of the phrase “in an embodiment” does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Unless stated otherwise, terms such as “first”, “second”, are used to arbitrarily distinguish between the elements such terms describe. Thus, these terms are not necessarily intended to indicate temporal or other prioritization of such elements.

[0020] The various features and embodiments of the exercise clothing with the resistance exercise device will now be better explained in conjunction with FIGS. 1-4.

[0021] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, a resistance exercise device 100 that can be incorporated within an exercise clothing such as a pant or trouser 300 are shown. As seen, the device 100 includes an elongated flat body 102 with a first end 102a and a second end 102b. According to an embodiment, the length of the body 102 is kept nearly equal or more than the length from knee portion to ankle portion of the pant leg 302 of the pant 300. The elongated flat body 102 of the device 100 is coupled underside a front portion of at least one pant leg 302. In an example, the device 100 may be sewn underside the front portion of at least one pant leg 302. In some other embodiments, some other means of coupling may be adopted.

[0022] According to the embodiment, the first end 102a of the body 102 includes a loop portion 104 that can detachably fit around an ankle of a wearer/user. The second end 102b of the body 102 includes a handle portion 106 accessible through an opening 304 provided on the at least one pant leg 302 (near the knee portion) that can be grasped and pulled up by the wearer to perform a leg related resistance exercise while the loop portion 104 is fitted around the ankle of the wearer and pulled down under the heal.

[0023] Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, a resistance exercise device 200 that can be incorporated within an exercise clothing such as a shirt, a hoodie 400 or the like are shown. As seen, the device 200 includes an elongated flat body 202 coupled underside a back portion 402 of the shirt/hoodie 400. According to an embodiment, the length of the body 202 is kept nearly equal or more than the length from shoulder portion to waist portion of the shirt 400. The elongated flat body 202 of the device 200 is coupled underside the back portion 402 of the shirt 400. In an example, the device 200 may be sewn underside the back portion 402 of the shirt 400. In some other embodiments, some other means of coupling may be adopted.

[0024] According to the embodiment, the elongated flat body 202 includes a first end 202a and a second end 202b. The first end 202a of the body 202 includes a hook 204 that can detachably connect to a belt or a belt loop 404 disposed around the waist portion of a pant 300 wearable by the wearer/user. The second end 202b of the body 202 includes a handle 206 accessible through an opening 406 on top of a shoulder by the wearer to perform arms or shoulder related resistance exercise while the hook 204 is connected to the belt or belt loop 404 of the pant 300 of the wearer.

[0025] It should be noted that, the resistance exercise devices 100 and 200, parts thereof described above in FIGS. 1-4 with respect to different embodiments may be made of different suitable materials, particularly suitable stretchable fabric, and be made in different shapes and sizes that may make the presented invention realization in real scenario. It is also possible that different parts (such as body portion, loop portion, handle portions) of the resistance exercise devices 100 and 200 may be made of either using the same single type of stretch material or different types of stretch materials.

[0026] Further, although FIG. 3 shows the resistance exercise device 100 of FIG. 1 incorporated within one pant leg 302 of the pant 300, it should be understood that both pant legs can have the devices 100 attached underside, so that user can perform resistance exercise for both the legs. Likewise, FIG. 4 shows the resistance exercise device 200 of FIG. 2 incorporated at one side on the rear side of the shirt 400 for exercising one arm, it should be understood that a pair of the resistance exercise device 200 may be incorporated in order to allow the user to perform the resistance exercise for both the arms and/or shoulders.

[0027] The preceding description has been presented with reference to various embodiments. Persons skilled in the art and technology to which this application pertains will appreciate that alterations and changes in the described structures and methods of operation can be practiced without meaningfully departing from the principle, spirit and scope of the present invention.
