Benefits of technology

[0008]The present invention relates to a weighted textile. The weighted textile comprises a flexible textile sheet having a weighted portion and an un-weighted portion. The weighted portion includes a weight affixed therewith. Thus, a user can place the weighted portion upon a surface with the un-weighted portion being hung off of the surface, thereby resulting in the weighted textile being held in place.

Problems solved by technology

While working out, the user almost always sweats, leaving a sweaty residue on the padded bench.
Such functionality works well for flat benches, but becomes problematic when applied to a seated bench.
While the towel itself is functional for absorbing sweat, it is difficult to keep the towel in place.
The draped towel often slides off of the bench, frustrating users who have to continuously reposition the towel against the backrest.

For example, textiles are often used to absorb fluids and clean surfaces. More specifically, towels are typically used to wipe down and dry surfaces. In other circumstances, textiles are used as coverings to protect the surface, such as tablecloths.[0005]In other art, gymnasiums are used by athletes and other health minded individuals to lift weights and work out. When working out, users typically use racks and weight machines having padded benches. While working out, the user almost always sweats, leaving a sweaty residue on the padded bench. To reduce the likelihood of leaving a sweaty residue, many users carry a towel with them into the weight room. The towel is often draped ...
