1) A lower body assist device comprising:
- a handle bar having a shaft and a support bar,
- wherein handles of said support bar allow a user to control said lower body assist device,
- a frame having a main trunk, first frame support, and second frame support,
- wherein said main trunk is connected to said shaft of said handle bar,
- wherein said first frame support and said second frame support are attached to said main trunk at a trunk end,
- a friction reduction apparatus connected to said first frame support and said second frame support at a friction end,

- grasping said handlebars of said lower body assist device while keeping said arms straight,
- bending knees in a way such that a partial crouch position is assumed,
- straightening a back in a way such that a force vector exerted by said user on said lower body assist device is at least partially downward,
- pushing said lower body assist device from a starting position to a desired location, and
- pushing said lower body assist device from said desired location to said starting position.
