Abstract

The present invention relates to a upper body exercise apparatus that combines upper body movements to achieve assisted push-up and dip exercise. More particularly, the present invention is associated with an exercise apparatus having separately supported platform for a portion of a user combining coordinated upper body exercise with the motion of the platform. When the torso of a user is positioned on the platform, energy storage devices absorb energy during the down stroke of push-up exercise. As the user begins the up stroke, the absorbed energy assists the user during the up stroke. A pair of handles are provided for dip exercise where the lower body contacts the platform. Further, the exercise apparatus provides adjustable energy storage.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field[0002]The present invention relates to an upper body exercise apparatus that combines upper body movements to achieve assisted push-up and dip exercise. More particularly, the present invention is associated with an exercise apparatus having separately supported platform for a portion of a user combining coordinated upper body exercise with the motion of the platform. When the torso of a user is positioned on the platform, energy storage devices absorb energy during the down stroke of push-up exercise. As the user begins the up stroke, the absorbed energy assists the user during the up stroke. A pair of handles are provided for dip exercise where the lower body contacts the platform. Further, the exercise apparatus provides adjustable energy storage.[0003]2. State of the Art[0004]The benefits of regular exercise to improve overall health, appearance and longevity are well documented in the literature. For exercise enthusiasts the search conti...
