BACKGROUND [0001] The following U.S. Pat. Nos. disclose conventional exercise device: U.S. Pat. No. 5,820,533 to Goldman; U.S. Pat. No. 6,007,463 to Wells et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 5,813,955 to Gutkowski et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 6,244,994 to Tilberis; U.S. Pat. No. 5,916,070 to Donohue; U.S. Pat. No. 5,792,034 to Kozlovsky; U.S. Pat. No. 5,518,481 to Darkwah; U.S. Pat. No. 5,433,688 to Davies; U.S. Pat. No. 5,234,395 to Miller et al.; and U.S. Pat. No. 650,656 to Raabe, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. These conventional exercise devices suffer from numerous disadvantages, however, such as an inability to provide proper exercise for the user, as well as failing to act as a weight bearing member through an entire range of movement during exercise. Thus, it is desirable to provide an exercise device that overcomes such disadvantages, and that can act as a weight bearing member through a larger range (e.g., an entire range) of movement during exercise. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0002] An object of the present invention is to remedy the above discussed deficiencies, or other deficiencies. The present invention provides an exerciser including a lower strap configured to encircle a portion of a user of the exerciser vest. A left shoulder strap is connected to a front side portion and a back side portion of the lower strap, the left shoulder strap configured to be disposed on a left side shoulder of the user. A right shoulder strap is connected to the front and back portions of the lower strap, the right shoulder strap configured to be disposed on a right side shoulder of the user. An exercise implement is removably connected to one of the lower, left shoulder, and right shoulder straps. The left and right shoulder straps cross with one another on a back of the user. At least one of the left and right shoulder straps includes an elastic portion configured to increase an overall length of the left or right shoulder strap in response to movement of the user. [0003] The present invention further provides a method of performing an exercise with an exerciser vest including a lower strap encircling a portion of a user, left and right shoulder straps connected to a front side portion and a back side portion of the lower strap and disposed on left and right side shoulders of the user, the left and right shoulder straps crossing with one another on a back of the user, and at least one of the left and right shoulder straps including an elastic portion increasing in length in response to movement of the user. The method includes removable attaching an exercise implement to the exerciser vest, and applying a resistance to a movement of the body of the user with the exercise implement.
