Abstract
A push up device includes a support device including a base for positioning on the floor, side supports and a top. A control device at the top includes a push up counter, a timer, and/or an audio signaling device. The support device includes adjustable arms which adjust the relative height between the top and the base. Hand supports extend from opposite sides of the support device. In one embodiment, the hand supports are removably mounted from the support device.
Claims16
A push up device comprising:
- a support device including a base and a side support which extends upwardly along a first axis from the base to a top;
- a control device positioned at the top for engagement by a user during a push up exercise, the control device including a push up counter;
- and
- an adjustable arm coupled to the support device, the adjustable arm being movable along a second axis to one of a plurality of discrete securement positions, the second axis being orthogonal to the first axis, wherein movement of the adjustable arm between securement positions adjusts a distance between the top and the base to be one of a plurality of different discrete heights, wherein the adjustable arm can be releasably secured at any of the securement positions.

A push up device comprising:
- a support device including a base and a side support which extends upwardly along a height of the support device from the base to a top, wherein the height of the support device is adjustable by changing a length of the base, the length of the base being orthogonal to the height of the support device;
- a control device positioned at the top for engagement by a user during a push up exercise, the control device including a push up counter;
- first and second hand supports extending from opposite sides of the support device, the hand supports being shaped and configured to provide a location for hands of the user during the push up exercise.
A method of using a push up device comprising:
- positioning a push up device on a surface, the push up device including a support device having a base, a top, and a side support extending from the base to the top;
- a control device positioned at the top for engagement by a user during a push up exercise, the control device including a push up counter;
- and adjustable arms which adjust a distance between the top and the base to one of a plurality of different heights;
- and
- adjusting a length of the adjustable arms to adjust the distance of the top relative to the base, wherein the length of the adjustable arms is adjusted generally orthogonal to the distance between the top and the base.

A method of using a push up device comprising:
- positioning a push up device on a surface, the push up device including a support device having a base that seats on the surface, a top, and a side support extending from the base to the top;
- and a control device positioned at the top for engagement by a user during a push up exercise, the control device including a push up counter;
- adjusting a distance between the top and the base by adjusting a length of the base along the surface;
- and
- mounting a plurality of hand supports to the support device including releasably mounting a first hand support to a first side of the support device and releasably mounting a second hand support to a second side of the support device, the second side being opposite the first side.
