What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A weighted garment, comprising:
 a garment having at least one cavity;   at least one weighted element disposed within the at least one cavity.   
     
     
         2 . The weighted garment of  claim 1 , wherein the garment is discreetly worn under a second garment to increase caloric burn. 
     
     
         3 . The weighted garment of  claim 1 , wherein a total weight of the garment is about 5-pounds. 
     
     
         4 . The weighted garment of  claim 1 , wherein the garment includes a plurality of cavities to permit the selective positioning of at least one weighted element into one or more of the plurality of cavities. 
     
     
         5 . The weighted garment of  claim 1 , wherein the weighted element is ⅛-inch ball bearings wrapped in silicone. 
     
     
         6 . The weighted garment of  claim 5 , wherein the weighted ball bearings wrapped in silicone are distributed among the cavities on the garment as desired by the user. 
     
     
         7 . The weighted garment of  claim 1 , wherein the garment is a shirt, tank top, or other suitable top. 
     
     
         8 . A method of manufacturing a weighted garment, comprising:
 a garment having at least one cavity;   at least one weighted element disposed within at least one cavity.   
     
     
         9 . The method of manufacturing the weighted garment of  claim 8 , wherein the garment is discretely worn under a second garment to increase caloric burn. 
     
     
         10 . The method of manufacturing the weighted garment of  claim 8 , wherein a total weight of the garment is about 5-pounds. 
     
     
         11 . The method of manufacturing the weighted garment of  claim 8 , wherein the garment includes a plurality of cavities to permit the selective positioning of at least one weighted element into one or more of the plurality of cavities. 
     
     
         12 . The method of manufacturing the weighted garment of  claim 8 , wherein the weighted element is ⅛-inch ball bearings wrapped in silicone. 
     
     
         13 . The method of manufacturing the weighted garment of  claim 8 , wherein the weighted ball bearings wrapped in silicone are distributed among the cavities on the garment as desired by the user. 
     
     
         14 . The method of manufacturing the weighted garment of  claim 8 , wherein the garment is a shirt, tank top, or other suitable top.
