CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001]NONE STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002]Research and development of this invention and Application have not been federally sponsored, and no rights are given under any Federal program. REFERENCE TO A MICROFICHE APPENDIX [0003]NOT APPLICABLE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004]1. Field of the Invention [0005]This invention relates to such fitness programs as body toning and aerobics performance, in general, and to a floor exercise mat usable in cushioning the body in carrying out such routines, in particular. [0006]2. Description of the Related Art [0007]As is well known and understood, full body toning is often accomplished with the assistance of gym-type equipment at a spa or fitness center--or in an exercise room devoted to such purposes. As is also understood, the more energy the exerciser exerts, the greater the overall health benefit. [0008]Analysis of the total toning of the leg muscles has led to the realization that upon each forward leg kick, an exerciser's diaphragm moves upwardly--while each backward kick moves the diaphragm downwardly. Inhalation upon each forward leg kick, and exhalation upon each backward kick has been found to be necessary in order to keep the symmetry between the lungs and the diaphragm aligned. Moreover, the optimum health of the lungs has been found to depend upon such symmetry, and upon the health of the diaphragm. Obviously, a user cannot readily take any of the equipment along with him/her to a different location for continuing these exercise activities without undue hardship and, further analysis has shown that these same problems and limitations exist in aerobics training, where exercise mats are typically utilized. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION [0009]It is an object of the present invention, therefore, to provide an exercise kit which can easily be carried about to allow an exerciser a more total control of the benefit he/she can derive without the assistance of any gym-type equipment. [0010]It is an object of the invention, also, to provide such an exercise kit which is able to maintain the symmetry between the lungs and diaphragm alignment during use. [0011]It is yet a further object of the invention to provide such an exercise kit which can be sized for storage in bags, cabinets, shelves, and under a bed, for example--and for use by all, regardless of body proportions and shapes. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0012]As will become clear from the following description, the present invention consists of an exercise kit including an exercise mat, an exercise belt, and a carrying bag. The invention also encompasses the recognition that a new method of exercise can be developed for the complete toning of the body as well as for aerobics performance through the utilization of the exercise mat alone, but preferably with the exercise belt. As will be seen, this exercise consists of the user lying on the mat and holding onto hand grips there provided, while inserting one foot into a pouch on the mat and swinging the other leg. Upon completion of the exercise lying on one side, the user then repeats the exercise by turning onto the other side, holding onto additional hand grips provided, and inserting the opposite foot into the pouch, swinging the other leg. The new method exercise--termed THE LUNG PLUNGE--thus follows from the use of this exercise mat, an exercise belt to protect the lower vertebrae and lumbar-sacral area during the exercise, and the carrying bag in which the exercise mat and belt can be rolled into for convenient toting about by a provided hand or shoulder strap.
