An exercise kit includes a lightweight garment having at least a pair of elongated pockets. An elongated bent shape memory member is secured within desired ones of the pockets to provide resistance when deformed and no resistance when restored resiliently to an original shape. The method of using the kit includes performing physical activities that includes movement of at least some portion of the body sufficient to cause the plastic member to deform and to provide sufficient resistance to the movement to tone the muscles of the user experiencing such resistance. In another embodiment an exercise kit includes at least one elongated shape memory member having a distal end pair of slots and a proximate end pair of slots. A pair of securing straps conformed to fit within respective ones of the slots helps secure the shape memory member in a position extending longitudinally along a limb portion of a user. The shape memory member is resilient and provides resistance when deformed and no resistance when restored to an original shape. The method of using the kit includes looping the straps through the slot pairs and then fastening them at the upper and lower portions of the limb of a user. The user then performs physical activities including movement of at least some portion of the limb sufficient to cause the shape memory member to deform and to provide sufficient resistance to the movement to tone the muscles of the user experiencing such resistance.
