Abstract
A portable exercise device having a base member and a plurality of handle grips. At least two of the handle grips are adjustable on the base member. The handle grips permit a user to exercise the chest muscles, shoulders, back, arms, and triceps of the user. The base preferably has a non-slip bottom creating a unit that will not tip over or slip.
Description
- The present invention relates to an exercise device and, more particularly, to a portable and versatile exercise device used to strengthen the chest and arms of a user, the device being resistant to sliding, tipping, or falling over.
- This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. provisional patent application, Serial No. MER-0103, filed Jan. 15, 2003, for EXERCISE DEVICE, and claims the priority date thereof.
- Historically and traditionally, a smooth and sleek upper body has been desired by every body-conscious being. Therefore, push-ups became popular very early when it was realized that the effectiveness of these movements encouraged and developed a well muscled, toned, and sleek upper physique depicting a healthy, well-nourished individual. Sequentially, a physically fit individual has become a status symbol, indicating happiness, self-assurance, prosperity and success. In addition, it is believed that these attributes bring about better jobs, salaries, and longer lives.
- The earliest push-ups were done by placing one's hands on a flat surface and pushing away to the extent of the arms to ensue the performance and occurrence of a push up. Soon, it was apparent that a device could be invented that would make push-ups more effective and less difficult with the same amount of exertion. Thus began the first idea for the development of a push-up exercise device.
- Since these earlier devices were first invented, there has been a need for a unit that was sturdy, stable, and unable to tip over while in use. Preferably, the unit would also be lightweight, portable, and economical to manufacture. Ideally, a unit that would be simple in composition with few complicated and easily comprehended parts was also needed. Up until now, prior attempts did not meet these qualifications. They also did not have the simplicity or ease of use of this device. Some of the previous attempts had some of the needed qualifications, but never were the qualities so completely combined in one unit.
- The present device meets all the needed standards plus it is also easily adjustable to enable a user to change hand positions to capture a complete range of motion and movement allowing different muscle groups to be exerted.
- It is therefore a primary objective of the present invention to provide an exercise device, which solves the inefficient push-up value problems in the art.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide an exercise device which is durable structurally in long-term and repetitive use.
- Another object of the invention is to provide an exercise device, which can be used by many different types of individuals at different levels of fitness.
- The advantages, features, and objects will become more apparent with reference to the accompanying claims and specifications.
- The closest prior invention, of which the applicant is aware, is a product by Altus Athletic Manufacturing Company located in Altur, Okla. The device, known as Push-up Stands, consists of two separate curved handles, which are placed on a level surface and manipulated by pushing the body away with the hands. These units are very unsafe, awkward, and could cause serious injury by tipping over or sliding out from under the user.
- The present invention remedies the deficiencies of the prior art. It is lightweight, portable, and versatile to accommodate individuals of many sizes, weights, and shapes. This device answers the ongoing industry need and consumer desire for development of a unit that adjusts quickly and easily thereby saving time and energy. It also answers the need and desire for a simpler exercise device with the functionality of a proven design at a lower cost. The advantages, features, and objects will become more apparent with reference to the accompanying claims and specifications.
- It is therefore an object of the invention to provide an exercise device that will allow a user to exercise the upper body effectively and efficiently working numerous body parts in a few easy motions.
- It is another object of the invention to provide a safe and secure exercise device that will not tip or slide.
- It is another object of the invention to create a portable exercise device, which will move and travel with the user.
- It is another object of the invention to create an exercise device, which is easy and simple to use.
- It is another object of the invention to create an exercise device, which is economical to produce.
- In accordance with the present invention, there is provided an exercise device for exercising and developing the upper body, chest, and arms of a user. The exercise device is constructed and arranged to be placed on the floor and is comprised of a base having a plurality of handles mounted thereon. The handles are arranged to provide a pair of outside handles or grips and a set of inside or center handles. The board of the device has cutout slots to provide handle adjustability and which enable the outside handles to slide and be secured to the base. The handle grips and the base or board can be constructed of wood, plastic, or metal. Preferably, the bottom of the base is provided with a non-slip surface. The placement of the handles enables the user to grab a handle on each side and work out the chest by doing a push-up or by sliding or rotating it in various positions to focus on different angles or parts of the chest and arms. The exercise device may be set on the floor in front of a user, thereby enabling the user to grab the handles and work out the chest, triceps, or other parts of the upper body by doing push-ups or other like exercises. The exercise device is versatile, economic in construction, and easy to use. These and other benefits of this invention will become apparent from the following description by reference to the drawings.
- A complete understanding of the present invention may be obtained by reference to the accompanying drawings, when considered in conjunction with the subsequent, detailed description, in which:
