Patent attributes
A device for assisting a user in performing push-up exercises on a floor surface is disclosed. The device includes at least one rigid shell that has a convex outer surface and a concave inner surface. Each surface is mutually connected by a peripheral edge that defines a shell opening. A means for handling is fixed with the concave inner surface within each shell and is adapted to be grasped by the user. Preferably a pair of such shells are adapted to mechanically, selectively and mutually attach at the peripheral edges thereof to form a container thereby. In use, the user grasps the means for handling of each of the shells with either hand and perform exercises on the floor surface by pressing each shell against the floor surface. The convex outer surface requires the user to continuously stabilize the device on the floor surface, thereby exercising muscles not normally exercised while performing the exercises.
