Weighted exercise glove

Abstract

Weighted exercise gloves shaped like boxing gloves. The shape and distribution of the weight about the gloves allows the user to have resistance weight at the end of his arms without having to grip the weight. The weight is equally distributed across the hands and lower forearms, and there is no requirement to grip the weight of the gloves, thus stress on the wrists is minimized.

I claim:  
     
         1 . An exercise weighted glove oriented between a first position distal to a wearer's fingertips and a second position anatomically proximal said wearer's wrist, said glove comprising: 
 a dorsal side, a thumb dorsal area and a palm side, each said side and area having an outer skin;    a flexible solid weight;    a method of securement of said glove to the wearer's hand, wrist and forearm; and    said flexible solid weight being permanently fastened under said outer skin of said dorsal side and said dorsal thumb side of said glove.    
     
     
         2 . The glove as in  claim 1 , further comprising said glove having an internal cavity shaped to conform to a natural position of the wearer's hands having a slightly curved finger position.  
     
     
         3 . The glove as in  claim 1 , said glove being a member of a pair of gloves comprising a left-handed glove and a right-handed glove.  
     
     
         4 . The glove as in  claim 1 , said flexible solid weight comprising a unitary piece of flexible solid weight.  
     
     
         5 . The glove as in  claim 4 , said flexible solid weight comprising a rubberized flexible solid weight.  
     
     
         6 . The glove as in  claim 1 , said flexible solid weight comprising a plurality of solid weights.  
     
     
         7 . The glove as in  claim 1 , said method of securement comprising at least one Velcro™ strap.  
     
     
         8 . An exercise weighted glove oriented between a first position distal to a wearer's fingertips and a second position anatomically proximal said wearer's wrist, said glove comprising: 
 a method of securement of said glove to the wearer's hand, wrist and forearm;    a dorsal side comprising a dorsal fluid chamber;    a thumb dorsal area comprising a thumb fluid chamber;    a palm side;    said dorsal fluid chamber and said thumb fluid chamber each having at least one fill tab for receiving and removing a fluid from said chambers.    
     
     
         9 . The exercise weighted glove as in  claim 8 , said fluid comprising water.  
     
     
         10 . The exercise weighted glove as in  claim 8 , said dorsal fluid chamber further comprising internal baffles to minimize sloshing and fluid inertial forces when said glove is rapidly moved.  
     
     
         11 . The exercise weighted glove as in  claim 8 , said dorsal fluid chamber and said thumb fluid chamber being a unitary fluid chamber positioned in and about said dorsal side and said thumb dorsal area.  
     
     
         12 . An exercise weighted glove oriented between a first position distal to a wearer's fingertips and a second position anatomically proximal said wearer's wrist, said glove comprising: 
 a dorsal side, a thumb dorsal area and a glove palm;    said dorsal side, said thumb dorsal area and said glove palm sharing an external skin of said glove;    a full weight surrounding said dorsal side, said thumb dorsal area and said glove palm; and    said full weight being permanently secured under said external skin.    
     
     
         13 . The glove as in  claim 12 , said full weight comprising a single flexible solid weight.  
     
     
         14 . The glove as in  claim 12 , said full weight comprising a plurality of solid weights.  
     
     
         15 . The glove as in  claim 12 , further comprising: 
 said full weight comprising a liquid in a unibody fluid chamber; and    said unibody fluid chamber oriented about said dorsal side, said thumb dorsal area and said glove palm of said glove.    
     
     
         16 . The glove as in  claim 15 , said liquid comprising water.
