US Patent 11369834 Portable exercise assembly and method of assembly

An exercise apparatus that a user can readily assemble and disassemble includes an elongated body and two inserts. The inserts can be stored within the elongated body or can be deployed in openings in the side of the body, and in that position, the inserts operate as legs for the body. The exercise apparatus can serve as a handle for pushups. The exercise apparatus can operate independently or with a slide pad to allow the user to use sliding push-ups. When the inserts are removed, the body can serve as a handle for straps for use with suspension exercises.
