Abstract: A pair of pants with two waistbands includes pants defining a first waistband. A second waistband is made substantially of a material having elastic properties. A connector secures the bottom of the second waistband to the pants and enables movement of the second waistband between a hidden orientation in which it is substantially hidden behind the pants and an exposed orientation wherein it is substantially exposed above the first waistband.

Abstract: A fitness rope for use in both jumprope and stretching exercises is formed of a stretchable length of resiliently elastic rope. At each end of the stretchable rope length are a segment of flexible material secured at one end thereof to the stretchable rope length end, and a hollow handle of greater rigidity than the flexible segment. The handle is disposed at least in part about the flexible segment, slidable along a limited length of the flexible segment and rotatable relative to the flexible segment. Adjacent the other end of each of the flexible segments, both ends of the flexible segment are releasably joinable together to define a loop, including a respective one of the handles as a part thereof, the loop being configured and dimensioned to receive a limb or a support for use in stretching exercises.

Abstract: A garment with a convertible collar includes a garment, a collar secured to the garment and defining a pouch with an open-top end, and a fleece-like sheet secured to the garment. The sheet is movable between a storage orientation, wherein substantially all of the sheet extends through the open-top end of the pouch and lies flat within the pouch, and a use orientation, wherein the sheet is substantially disposed outside of the pouch and overlies substantially all of the upper surface of the collar. Fasteners on the collar and the sheet releasably maintain the sheet in the use orientation, and fasteners on the pouch and the sheet releasably maintain the open-top end substantially closed when the sheet is in the storage orientation.
