Abstract
The present invention comprises a novel push-up device which is configurable by user body characteristics and by predetermined conditions for range of motion so as to guide an exerciser to perform a push-up which meets such predetermined range of motion and exercise form criteria. Through the use of the device of the present invention, exercisers are able to perform push-ups that meet predetermined range of motion criteria regardless of their body characteristics and receive feedback based upon whether the exercise was properly performed or not.
Claims15
A configurable push up kit of parts comprising:
- (a) a sizing unit for measuring a user's lower arm length;
- (b) a plurality of arm length extenders which are selected as a pair based upon said user's lower arm length measurement;
- and
- (c) a guidebox component further comprising a pair of hollow tubes capable of receiving said selected pair of arm length extenders and thereby positioning one end of each of said arm length extenders at a height representing a preferred lower range of motion point for a push up exercise for said user based upon said user's lower arm length.
A method of providing range of motion feedback to a user performing a push up comprising the steps of:
- (a) measuring a user's lower arm length;
- (b) selecting a pair of arm length extenders from among a plurality of arm length extenders based upon said user's lower arm length measurement;
- and
- (c) inserting said selected pair of arm length extenders into a pair of hollow tubes located upon a guidebox, said pair of hollow tubes capable of receiving said selected pair of arm length extenders and thereby positioning one end of each of said arm length extenders at a height representing a preferred lower range of motion point for a push up exercise for said user based upon said user's lower arm length.
