Description
BACKGROUND
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments herein generally relate to workout clothes,
and, more particularly, resistance workout apparels.
Description of the Related Art
[0002] Exercise is considered a "stress" to many organs, but
differs from the negative stress of everyday life in that the
exercise stimulates the breakdown, repair and growth of muscles,
ligaments, tendons and bones in the process of creating a stronger
and more resilient body. People in modern world live a busy life.
Stressful lifestyles and lack of exercise make people unhealthy and
prone to several ailments like obesity and allergies. Due to lack
of time, people avoid going to gym and try a number of ways to stay
fit which can save the time. The number of ways includes, but not
limited to, controlling the diet, wearing fitness gadgets or the
like.
[0003] Apart from a healthy heart, fitness craze is now a way of
life for a majority of individuals all around the globe. The
current trend in cardiovascular activities is toward more moderate
form of exercises which are performed over a longer duration, such
as walking, bicycling, low impact aerobics and similar types of
cardiovascular activities. It is a well known fact that movement of
a muscle enhances the growth of new cell replacing the older ones
in the muscle. A large variety of apparel, more particularly a
workout apparel, are now-a-days available in the market that
directly/indirectly help in exercising. A body shaper is a type of
workout apparel which grips the body of a user tightly and results
in sweat excretion. A wearer does a kind of workout even without
going to gym or the like just by wearing the workout apparel.
[0004] Accordingly, there remains a need for simple and inexpensive
workout apparel.
SUMMARY
[0005] In view of the foregoing an embodiment herein provides a
resistance workout apparel that assists a user to burn unwanted
calories of the user's body. The resistance workout apparel
includes a one or more resistance pads, that are integrated to the
resistance workout apparel. The user wears the resistance workout
apparel. The one or more resistance pads resist the user to move
the user's body thereby compelling the user to apply more force to

body fuels in pectoral muscles. The resistance workout apparel
further includes a second resistance pad that is coupled to an
elbow joint portion of the resistance workout shirt. The second
resistance pad restricts the user to fold the arms, when the user
folds the arms, thereby compelling the user to apply more force
that results in burning the unwanted multiple body fuels in
brachialis muscles and brachioradialis muscles.
[0007] In another embodiment, the resistance workout apparel is
provided that further includes a third resistance pad that is
coupled to the upper waist of said resistance workout shirt. The
third resistance pad restricts the user to bend, when the user
bends toward left or right, thereby compelling the user to apply
more force that results in burning the unwanted multiple body fuels
in oblique muscles. The resistance workout apparel further includes
a fourth resistance pad that is coupled to the upper portion of the
resistance workout pant. The fourth resistance pad restricts the
user to lift the legs, when the user lifts the legs, thereby
compelling the user to apply more force that results in burning the
unwanted multiple body fuels in gluteus muscles.
[0008] In another embodiment, the resistance workout apparel is
provided that includes a fifth resistance pad that is coupled to
the popliteal fossa portion of the legs of the resistance workout
pant. The fifth resistance pad restricts the user to fold the legs,
when the user folds the legs, thereby compelling the user to apply
more force that results in burning the unwanted multiple body fuels
in semimembranosus muscles and biceps femoris muscles.
[0009] These and other aspects of the embodiments herein will be
better appreciated and understood when considered in conjunction
with the following description and the accompanying drawings. It
should be understood, however, that the following descriptions,
while indicating preferred embodiments and numerous specific
details thereof, are given by way of illustration and not of

[0011] FIG. 1A is a diagrammatic representation of a front view of
a user wearing a resistance workout shirt and a pant according to
an embodiment herein; and
[0012] FIG. 1B is a diagrammatic representation of a rear view of
the user illustrating a resistance workout shirt and a pant
according to an embodiment herein;
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0013] The embodiments herein and the various features and
advantageous details thereof are explained more fully with
reference to the non-limiting embodiments that are illustrated in
the accompanying drawings and detailed in the following
description. Descriptions of well-known components and processing
techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the
embodiments herein. The examples used herein are intended merely to
facilitate an understanding of ways in which the embodiments herein
may be practiced and to further enable those of skill in the art to
practice the embodiments herein. Accordingly, the examples should
not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments
herein.
[0014] As mentioned, there remains a need for simple and
inexpensive workout apparel with resistance to the user's body
movement. The embodiments herein achieve this by providing multiple
pads at the joint positions of the workout apparel. Referring now
to the drawings, and more particularly to FIGS. 1A through 1B,
where similar reference characters denote corresponding features
consistently throughout the figures, there are shown preferred
embodiments.
[0015] FIG. 1A is a diagrammatic representation of a front view
100A of a user wearing a resistance workout shirt 102A and a
resistance workout pant 102B according to an embodiment herein. The
resistance workout shirt 102A includes a first resistance pad 104A,
a second resistance pad 104B, a third resistance pad 104C, a forth
resistance pad 104D, and a fifth resistance pad 104E.
[0016] The first resistance pad 104A is coupled to a left and a
right shoulder of the resistance workout shirt 102A. When the user
lifts the left and/or right arm up, the first resistance pad 104A
restricts the user to lift the left and/or right arm up. The
restriction compels the user to apply more force to lift the left
and/or right arm up, so the user burns excess of multiple body
fuels in pectoral muscles. In one embodiment, the multiple body
fuels include, but not limited to, glucose (from carbohydrates),
fatty acids (from fat) and amino acids (from protein) or the like
in the pectoral muscles, the brachialis, the brachioradialis, the
oblique muscles, and the gluteus muscles. In one embodiment, the
pectoral muscles are one of the paired muscles which cover the
front of the ribcage.
[0017] The second resistance pad 104B is coupled to an elbow joint
of a left arm and a right arm of the resistance workout shirt 102A.
When the user folds the left and/or right aim, the second
resistance pad 104B restricts the user to fold the left and/or
right arm. The restriction compels the user to apply more force to
fold the left and/or right aim, so the user burns excess of
multiple body fuels in brachialis and brachioradialis. In one
embodiment, the brachialis and the brachioradialis are the muscles
of the arms.
[0018] The third resistance pad 104C is coupled to a left side and
a right side of the upper waist of the resistance workout shirt
102A. When the user bends toward left or right, the third
resistance pad 104C restricts the user to bend towards left or
right. The restriction compels the user to apply more force to bend
towards left or right, so the user burns excess of multiple body
fuels in the oblique muscles. In one embodiment, the oblique
muscles are the muscles of the lateral anterior abdomen.
[0019] The forth resistance pad 104D is coupled to a left side and
a right side of the upper portion of the resistance workout pant
102B. When the user lifts the left and/or right leg up, the fourth
resistance pad 104D restricts the user to lift the left and/or
right leg up. The restriction compels the user to apply more force
to lift the left and/or right leg up, so the user burns excess of
multiple body fuels in the gluteus muscles. In one embodiment, the
gluteus muscles are responsible for movement of the thigh.
[0020] FIG. 1B is a diagrammatic representation of a rear view 100B
of the user wearing a resistance workout shirt 102A and a
resistance workout pant 102B according to an embodiment herein. The
fifth resistance pad 104E is coupled to a popliteal fossa portion
of the left leg and the right leg of the resistance workout pant
102B. When the user folds the left and/or right leg, the fifth
resistance pad 104E restricts the user to fold the left and/or
right leg. The restriction compels the user to apply more force to
fold the left and/or right leg, so the user burns excess of
multiple body fuels in popliteal fossa portion of the left and/or
right leg. The multiple body fuels include glucose (from
carbohydrates), fatty acids (from fat) and amino acids (from
protein) or the like in the semimembranosus muscle and/or biceps
femoris muscle of the left and/or right leg. In one embodiment,
popliteal fossa is a shallow depression located at the back of the
knee joint and the semimembranosus muscle and the biceps femoris
muscle are located in the popliteal fossa portion of the left
and/or right leg.
[0021] In one embodiment, the fabric of the resistance workout
shirt and the resistance workout pant may be manufactured from
cotton, flax, wool, ramie, silk or the like. The resistance
material is, but not limited to, rubber and/or latex material.
[0022] The muscles burn various kinds of fats, carbohydrates and/or
proteins while exercising. The resistance workout apparel is
designed to create resistance to strengthen and tone the muscles,
while performing "everyday" physical activity such as walking,
running or the like. The resistance material/elastic material is
intergraded strategically in places to create the most resistance
with simple movement. The movement of the user's body with
restriction increases the oxygen demand of the user's body.
Increase in oxygen intake improves cardiovascular health and builds
muscles, thereby producing desired results more effectively and
seamlessly.
[0023] The resistance pad technology pinpoints and focuses on each
muscle area rather than one or two pads targeting on a group of
muscles. Each pad of the resistance workout apparel works
individually to provide resistance against simple muscle movements
for a single muscle area.
[0024] The foregoing description of the specific embodiments will
so fully reveal the general nature of the embodiments herein that
others can, by applying current knowledge, readily modify and/or
adapt for various applications such specific embodiments without
departing from the generic concept, and, therefore, such
adaptations and modifications should and are intended to be
comprehended within the meaning and range of equivalents of the
disclosed embodiments. It is to be understood that the phraseology
or terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description
and not of limitation. Therefore, while the embodiments herein have
been described in terms of preferred embodiments, those skilled in
the art will recognize that the embodiments herein can be practiced
with modification within the spirit and scope of the appended
claims.
