Abstract

A velcro athletic belt with velcro backed clips for securing a workout towel to the torso of a person. This “hands free” belt, clip and towel assembly allows the person to exercise, jog, run or lounge with the towel securely attached on his waist. A different embodiment utilizes clips which attach the towel directly to the person's clothes.
