Abstract
A weighted push-up exercise machine is disclosed. The machine includes a lever arm having a proximate end coupled pivotally to a base. The lever arm is configured to provide a resistance against vertical movement of a distal end of the lever arm. In addition, the distal end of the lever arm is configured to receive a connector suspended from a belt or harness worn by a user and a pair of hand grips are disposed above the lever arm and the pair of hand grips are configured to be grasped by the user. The machine is configured for the user to use in a horizontal position by the user grasping the hand grips and performing push-up exercises against the resistance. The machine also includes an elevated platform that is adjustably positioned in height relative to the pair of hand grips.
Claims20
A weighted push-up exercise machine, the machine comprising:
- a base structure;
- a pair of front vertical frame members fixed to the base structure and extending upwardly therefrom, the front vertical frame members being substantially parallel to one another;
- a pair of rear vertical frame members fixed to the base structure and extending upwardly therefrom, the rear vertical frame members being substantially parallel to one another;
- a horizontal member connected between the pair of rear vertical frame members;
- a lever arm having a proximate end coupled pivotally to the horizontal member and the lever arm configured to provide a resistance against vertical movement of a distal end of the lever arm;
- a flange extending outwardly from the distal end of the lever arm, wherein the flange is configured to receive a connector suspended from a belt or harness worn by a user;
- a pair of hand grips disposed above the flange and the pair of hand grips are configured to be grasped by the user;
- and
- an elevated platform spaced apart from the pair of hand grips configured to support feet of a user;
- wherein the machine is configured for the user to use in a horizontal position by the user grasping the hand grips and resting the feet of the user on the elevated platform and performing push-up exercises against the resistance.
