Example

[0020]Referring to the drawing FIG. 1 in detail, the framework 10 is depicted as resting upon a supporting surface. The user 1 is shown in a posture ready to perform push-ups with hands positioned upon the supporting surface and the torso of the user in contact with platform 7. Handles 9,11 are positioned upon framework 10 with the user 20 shown in FIG. 2 preparing to perform dip exercise.

[0021]Guide tracks 2,4 are positioned vertical and attached to framework 10. Guides 6,8 are slidable along guide tracks 2,4. Platform 7 has cushions 24 in contact with the torso of the user 1 or lower body of user 20 with side bars 3,5 on either side of platform 7. Guides 6,8 are attached to sidebars 3,5. The energy storage devices are springs 11,13 attached to sidebars 3,5 and to framework 10. Additional springs may be added to the extra holes 19 in the framework 10 and sidebar holes 21.

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...
