Abstract:
1. An assembly of hand and foot mitts for an exercise form in which pressure is applied between a human palm and a support surface and between a human foot and a support surface as the wearer takes predetermined positions of an exercise form relative to the support surface, comprising a pair of hand mitts and a pair of foot mitts, each hand mitt comprising a hand sleeve configured to fit snugly about a palm of a human hand with one or more openings that allow portions of fingers of a human hand to extend out of the hand sleeve in a manner that the portions of the fingers that extend out of the sleeve are not covered by any part of the hand mitt, the hand sleeve comprising two segments of material that are coupled together to form the hand sleeve, one of the segments of material formed of an anti slip material and having opposite surfaces, one of the opposite surfaces forming an inner surface portion of the hand sleeve and being located to directly contact a portion of the palm of a wearer of the hand sleeve and the other of the opposite surfaces forming an outer surface of the hand sleeve and being located to directly contact a support surface when the wearer seeks to apply pressure from the wearer's palm through the one segment of material and against the support surface, the outer surface portion of the hand sleeve configured to resist relative movement between the hand sleeve and the support surface as the wearer applies pressure from the wearer's palm through the one segment of material and against the support surface and takes predetermined positions relative to the support surface, the inner surface portion of the hand sleeve configured to resist relative movement between a human palm and the hand sleeve as the wearer applies pressure from the wearer's palm through the one segment of material and against the support surface as the wearer takes predetermined positions relative to the support surface, each foot mitt comprising a foot sleeve configured to fit snugly about a portion of a human foot with one or more openings that allow portions of the toes of a human foot to extend out of the foot sleeve in a manner that the portions of the toes that extend out of the foot sleeve are not covered by any part of the foot mitt, the foot sleeve comprising two segments of material that are coupled together to form the foot sleeve, one of the segments of material formed of an anti slip material and having opposite surfaces, one of the opposite surfaces forming an inner surface portion of the foot sleeve and being located to directly contact a portion of the foot of a wearer of the foot sleeve and the other of the opposite surfaces forming an outer surface of the foot sleeve and being located to directly contact a support surface when the wearer seeks to apply pressure from the wearer's foot through the one segment of material and against the support surface, the outer surface portion of the foot sleeve configured to resist relative movement between the foot sleeve and the support surface as the wearer applies pressure from the wearer's foot through the one segment of material and against the support surface and takes predetermined positions relative to the support surface, the inner surface portion of the foot sleeve configured to resist relative movement between a human foot and the foot sleeve as the wearer applies pressure from the wearer's foot through the one segment of material and against the support surface as the wearer takes predetermined positions relative to the support surface.
