Abstract: A weighted training garment comprising a pair of shorts having portions which surround each thigh area of the user supplied with weights contained in a cuff-like device. The shorts are constructed of a fabric having substantially greater stretch in a direction lateral to the vertical axis of the wearer's body using fibers such as spandex, nylon, and blends thereof. The cuff device includes a series of weight containing compartments which are connected to one another by a flexible, elasticized fabric belt which stretches primarily in the lateral direction. The cuff devices are removably secured to the thigh portion of the shorts by "Velcro" fastening tape or other suitable fastening means. The weight containing compartments may also be openable and closeable to allow the addition or removal of weights and may also include fastening means of a type that they can be removably connected to the thigh portion of the shorts or to the cuff-like device.
