Abstract: An apparatus includes a glove, an illumination assembly partially disposed in a finger portion of the glove, and an actuator removably disposed in a portion of the glove. A housing of the illumination assembly includes a flange with a portion disposed in a region of the glove between the finger portion and a thumb portion and a mounting portion at least partially disposed within an aperture defined by the finger portion and coupled to an illumination member of the illumination assembly. The flange coupling the housing to the glove to retain the mounting portion in a substantially fixed orientation within the aperture and to space the illumination member a non-zero distance from an exterior surface of the glove. The actuator transitionable between a first configuration in which electric power is withheld from the illumination member and a second configuration in which electric power is delivered to the illumination member.

Abstract: Apparatus described herein include ear warmer frames. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a frame configured to be disposed about a portion of a head of a user. The frame includes a first member and a second member. The first member has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of the first member has a cross-sectional profile, and the second portion of the first member has a cross-sectional profile smaller than the cross-sectional profile of the first portion of the first member. An end portion of the second member has a cross-sectional profile substantially corresponding to the cross-sectional profile of the first portion of the first member. The second member defines an opening configured to receive the second portion of the first member such that when the frame is in a collapsed configuration an abutment interface is defined, and surfaces of the abutment interface are substantially continuous between the first member and the second member.

Abstract: A weighted jump rope includes an elongated cord having a first end, an opposing second end, an intermediate portion and an axial bore extending from an opening on the first end to an opening on the second end. The axial bore is filled with a predetermined amount of weighted material, such as sand. A dowel received within each opening forms an expanded portion that retains a bearing disc on each end of the cord. Each bearing disc engages an internal bearing surface within a rotating handle assembly that prevents the cord from binding or contorting as it encircles an exerciser.

Abstract: An exercise garment is formed of a pair of shorts and an accompanying vest which are worn by an exerciser to enhance strength, conditioning, power, endurance and agility. The shorts include a pelvic portion with a pair of leg sections depending therefrom. Each leg section terminates at a leg opening having a circumferential zipper strand adjacent thereto. Immediately above the zipper strand are a plurality of juxtaposed, segregated pockets for receiving a weighted bar. A leg extension having multiple weight pockets includes a peripheral zipper strand at an upper end for mating engagement with the zipper strand of either leg section allowing the effective length thereof to be increased. The accompanying vest is formed of a torso portion with a pair of separable sleeves extending therefrom. A plurality of weight pockets are positioned on the front and rear of the torso portion and each sleeve. A torso extension having multiple weight pockets is removably attachable to the lower edge of the torso portion.
