More specifically, the exercise device comprises a push-up board removably attached to an edge of a worktop by using a support structure. When engaged with the edge of the worktop, the support structure is configured to support the board at an acute angle to the worktop. The exercise device thus configured may be particularly suitable for users who are in a recovery phase after a surgery or after an injury (e.g., a shoulder injury). ## Claims ### Claim 1 An exercise device for incline push-ups, comprising: a push-up board having a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface being configured to receive at least one hand of a user; and a support structure attached to the bottom surface of the push-up board, wherein the support structure is configured to be engaged with an edge of a worktop, wherein the support structure is configured, when engaged with the edge of the worktop, to support the push-up board at an acute angle to the worktop, wherein the push-up board and the support structure are configured to withstand a pressure exerted by the user on the top surface of the push-up board during the incline push-ups, and wherein the top surface of the push-up board comprises at least one hand position marking. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the support structure has a through groove that is shaped to match the edge of the worktop, and wherein the through groove runs relative to the push-up board such that the push-up board is at the acute angle to the worktop when the support structure is engaged with the edge of the worktop via the through groove. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The device of claim 2, wherein the support structure comprises a first support bracket and a second support bracket, and wherein the first support bracket and the second support bracket are shaped such that, when attached adjacent to each other on the bottom surface of the push-up board, the first support bracket and the second support bracket form the through groove. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The device of claim 3, wherein the through groove has an inner surface at least partly coated with a rubber material. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, further comprising: at least one sensor integrated in the push-up board, the at least one sensor being configured to collect push-up related information; and a display installed on the top surface of the push-up board, the display being connected to the at least one sensor and configured to output the push-up related information to the user. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The device of claim 5, wherein the push-up related information comprises at least one of: a heart rate of the user during the incline push-ups; a number of incline push-ups done; calories burned during the incline push-ups; and an incline push-up pace. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The device of claim 6, further comprising a processing unit installed in the push-up board and connected to the at least one sensor, wherein the processing unit is configured to generate a plan for everyday incline push-up exercises based on the push-up related information from the at least one sensor. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the push-up board has at least one recess made on the bottom surface, and wherein the support structure comprises at least one folding bracket configured to be in a folded state and an unfolded state, the at least one folding bracket being attached to the bottom surface of the push-up board such that the at least one folding bracket is hidden in the recess in the folded state, and the at least one folding bracket comprising a clamping element configured to be engaged with the edge of the worktop when the at least one folding bracket is in the unfolded state. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The device of claim 8, wherein each of the at least one folding bracket has a surface portion which is in contact with the edge of the worktop when the clamping element is engaged with the edge of the worktop, and wherein the surface portion is at least partly coated with a rubber material. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the acute angle ranges from about 30 to about 70 degrees. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the top surface of the push-up board is coated with a foam cushion. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the top surface of the push-up board comprises at least two hand position markings each corresponding to a different hand position, each of the at least two hand position markings being color-coded. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein each of the push-up board and the support structure is made of wood or plastic. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the top surface being configured to receive a palm of the at least one hand of the user.
