Apparatus for inclined push-ups

Abstract

An exercise apparatus for performing inclined push-ups on stairs or on an incline in general, wherein the exercise apparatus comprises a pair of push-up stands. Each push-up stand comprises a handle and an arcuate support member having an anti-slip, high friction, outer convex surface. When used on the stairs, the exercise apparatus is positioned on an inside corner of the stairs, wherein the arcuate support member is supported by contact with a stair riser and an adjacent stair tread through friction. Alternatively, a general structure can be used if it has an inside corner formed by adjacent horizontal and vertical surfaces. Having the exercise apparatus supported by friction allows a user to position the exercise apparatus at a comfortable inclined angle. Doing push-ups on an incline requires less force than conventional push-ups which benefits users who struggle with conventional push-ups.
