Abstract
An exercise apparatus for performing push-up type exercises includes an elongate planar surface with at least one transverse slot and a pair of handles movably carried in the transverse slot. The pair of handles are adapted for gripping by a user during performance of the push-up type exercise. The handles are interconnected by a resistance band for providing a selected resistance to resist a laterally outward displacement of the pair of handles during a push-up. A pair of adjustable legs support the apparatus in inclined orientation and a declined orientation, relative to a supporting ground surface. The legs may be attached by a pivot and are movable between a stowed position and an upright supporting position.
Claims13
An exercise apparatus, comprising:
- an elongate planar surface having a pair of adjustable legs adapted to support the elongate planar surface in one or more of an inclined orientation and a declined orientation;
- at least one transverse slot defined in the elongate planar surface;
- and
- a pair of handles movably carried in the at least one transverse slot, the pair of handles adapted for gripping by a user during performance of a push-up type exercise;
- a pair of handle carriers disposed on opposite sides of the elongate planar surface, each handle carrier configured to movably carry a respective handle of the pair of handles along the at least one transverse slot;
- and
- a resistance band interconnecting the pair of handle carriers, the resistance band imparting a desired resistance to a laterally outward movement of the pair of handles.
An exercise apparatus, comprising:
- an elongate planar surface;
- at least one transverse slot defined in the elongate planar surface;
- a pair of handles movably carried in the at least one transverse slot, the pair of handles adapted for gripping by a user during performance of a push-up type exercise;
- a resistance band interconnecting the pair of handles for providing a selected resistance to resist a laterally outward displacement of the pair of handles;
- and
- a pair of adjustable legs adapted to support the elongate planar surface in one or more of an inclined orientation and a declined orientation, relative to a supporting ground surface.
An exercise apparatus, comprising:
- an elongate planar surface having a pair of adjustable legs adapted to support the elongate planar surface in one or more of an inclined orientation and a declined orientation;
- at least one transverse slot defined in the elongate planar surface;
- and
- a pair of handles movably carried in the at least one transverse slot, the pair of handles adapted for gripping by a user during performance of a push-up type exercise;
- and
- a pivot coupling the pair of adjustable legs to the elongate planar surface, such that the pair of adjustable legs are selectively positioned between a stowed condition aligned with a back surface of the elongate planar surface, and an extended position, such that a front or a back of the elongate planar surface is inclined or declined relative to a supporting ground surface.
