Benefits of technology
[0017]In keeping with an aspect of the invention, these and other objects are accomplished by use of a velcro belt with velcro-backed clips for securing a workout towel, to the belt. Preferably, the belt is made of industrial strength velcro in which the back sides of the hook strip and loop strip are fused or sewn together to form an approximate four foot long belt. Accordingly, one side of the four foot long belt will comprise hook velcro for the entire four foot span of belt and the other side will comprise loop velcro for the entire four foot span of belt. This way when the belt is wrapped around the waist, the loop side easily mates to the hook side no matter what a person's waist size.
[0018]Attached to the velcro belt are plastic clips with velcro on the back side of each clip for easy attachment to the velcro belt.
[0020]This way the towel may be hung from one side of the belt for easy access, ie: especially for wiping perspiration from a person's brow while exercising or running.
Problems solved by technology
However, with this increase in cardiac rate, the person begins to perspire quit heavily.
However, it is burdensome to lug these workout towels around during the exercise session; ie: from workout station to workout station, and machine to machine.
Additionally, there is a tendency to forget one's workout towel somewhere along the way or inadvertently pick up someone else's towel.
An additional problem with the workout towel is there is no appropriate place to set it.
However, it constantly falls off and is much too cumbersome to wear while exercising, so once again it is tossed on the dirty floor.
However, this often interferes with the person trying to exercise.
