Patent ID: 8475344

Claim:
A method of performing an exercise, comprising: a. donning a first exercise device on a right limb of a user, the exercise device comprising: i. a fitting member configured to be fit around a portion of the user's right limb like a sock or a glove; and ii. a resistance member having a proximal end, a distal end, and a surface area in between the proximal end and distal end, the resistance member defining a first axis generally parallel to the user's right limb and rotatable relative to the fitting member about the axis by approximately 90°; b. donning a second exercise device on a left limb of the user, the exercise device comprising: i. a fitting member configured to be fit around a portion of the user's left limb like a sock or a glove; and ii. a resistance member having a proximal end, a distal end, and a surface area in between the proximal end and distal end, the resistance member defining a second axis generally parallel to the user's left limb; c. adding one or more weights to the resistance member of at least one exercise device; and d. moving the right and left limbs back and forth in short linear movements, wherein the direction of the short linear movements is approximately perpendicular to said surface areas of the resistance members so that the air resistance effect of the short linear movements and/or the inertial effect of the changing the directions of the short linear movements works targeted muscle groups for the exercise.
