Abstract: An exercise mitt removably wearable on a person's hand or foot extremity during fitness activity of the kind involving the exertion of pressure by a portion of such an extremity on an external support surface. The mitt includes an expanse of compressible, elastomeric, frictioning fabric material possessing resistance to slippage, and having opposite, inner and outer surface portions. The inner surface portion is adapted to contact such an extremity portion with the mitt worn by a person for use, and the outer surface portion, under the same worn-for-use condition, is adapted to contact such an external support surface. The inner and outer surface portions are defined by evenly contoured, continuity surfaces which are interrupted by a distribution of plural, spaced, through-expanse apertures which open to the expanse's opposite surface portions, and which have full perimeters to which the associated, adjacent continuity surfaces fully extend.

Abstract: An exercise mitt is provided for a hand or foot, and which is particularly useful in an exercise form such as yoga in which a practitioner maintains a pose or shifts body position while his/her hand or foot is in contact with a support surface. The exercise mitt is specially configured to address the problem of slippage when the practitioner is practicing an exercise form such as yoga, where the practitioner exerts pressure on a support surface in both downward and outward directions as the practitioner is practicing the exercise form. The mitt comprises a sleeve configured to fit snugly about a portion of a human extremity while permitting portions of the human extremity to extend out of the sleeve.
