Abstract
An exercise glove for strapping weights (108) to a user's hand. The exercise glove may be used in water for swimming or on land for jogging or other exercise. A weight is inserted into a pocket (106) on a support (103) for placement on the backhand portion of the user's hand. The weight is removable from the pocket to permit variability of the amount of weight carried in proportion to desired muscle stress. The exercise glove may include a plurality of pockets for insertion of a plurality of weights. For use in swimming or other water sports the glove includes webbing (170) extending between form fitting finger sleeves (118), which cooperates with the weights (106) to provide improved training. The glove may also be formed with quick-removal loops (402) in place of or in addition to the webbing (170).
