A training apparatus particularly suited for ice skaters. The training apparatus includes a cover, typically formed as shorts sized to be worn over traditional hockey pants or a hockey girdle, and one or more connectors. The connectors are attached to the cover in fixed positions around the upper leg and buttocks of the user of the training apparatus, and slidably and releasably receive through looped parts at least one elongate, flexible, elastic resistive member to provide resistance against the motion of a user while engaging in physical activities, such as skating. The connectors are mounted on both the front and back of the cover and include upper connectors mounted on an upper tubular section of the cover and lower connectors mounted on the front of leg sections of the cover. |

1. A training apparatus for a skater comprising:
a flexible fabric cover having a front, a back, a top end, and a bottom end, said cover including a main body section and left and right leg sections extending from and connected to said main body section and capable of covering at least an upper portion of the skater's legs, loop-forming connectors mounted on both the front and the back of said cover, said connectors including upper connectors mounted on the front and back of said main body section and lower connectors mounted on the front of both the left and right leg sections, said connectors forming a loop; and elongate elastomeric resistive members having a first end and a second end attachable to said cover by said loops formed by said connectors, said resistive members longitudinally slidable through said connectors, at least one of said resistive members being mounted on a left half of the cover and at least one of said resistive members being mounted on a right half of the cover, each resistive member positionable to extend along opposite sides of a leg of the skater, said first end and said second end of each resistive member is attached to a respective skate. |
