Abstract
A tool for use for performing inclined push-ups with a hand grip (1) to hold the tool and support arms of sufficient length to hold an exerciser away from the object a persons is exercising against and of sufficient strength to support the weight of the user. The support arms are attached to a support bracket (3) which is used to anchor the exercise apparatus in place, and should be of sufficient size as to provide a secure anchor. Attached to the support bracket are anti-slip tabs that insure against the exercise apparatus sliding, while the person is exercising.
Claims6
An exercise apparatus for allowing a person to perform push-ups, comprising:
- engaging means comprising two members, each of which have first and second sides,
- each of said members having two spaced apart edges and an end portion extending between said two edges,
- said two members being coupled together such that said end portions of said two members are spaced from each other with said first sides of said two members defining an angle less than 180 degrees between said end portions for engaging a non-planar support surface,
- the apex of said angle being located between said two end portions and having a given length extending generally transverse to said edges,
- at least one arm having first and second ends with said first end being coupled to said second side of one of said members, and
- a hand grip having first and second ends defining a given length with said first end of said hand grip being coupled to said second end of said arm such that said hand grip is transverse to said arm,
- said length of said hand grip being transverse to said length of said apex of said angle.
A method of performing push-ups by a person with two exercise apparatus of the type comprising engaging means comprising two members, each of which have first and second sides, each of said members having two spaced apart edges and an end portion extending between said two edges, said two members being coupled together such that said end portions of said two members are spaced from each other with said first sides of said two members defining an angle less than 180 degrees between said end portions for engaging a non-planar support surface, the apex of said angle being located between said two end portions and having a given length extending generally transverse to said edges, at least one arm having first and second ends with said first end being coupled to said second side of one of said members, and a hand grip having first and second ends defining a given length with said first end of said hand grip being coupled to said second end of said arm such that said hand grip is transverse to said arm, said length of said hand grip being transverse to said length of said apex of said angle, said method comprising the steps of:
- gripping said hand grips of said two apparatus,
- engaging a non-planar support surface with said first sides of said two members, and
- performing push-ups.
