Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to an exercise apparatus consisting of a body with rollers and a handle. The rollers may be arranged in a plurality and may be rotating around parallel roller axes. The handle may extend along a direction that is perpendicular to the roller axes. The technical effect of this invention is to provide an exercise apparatus that provides a full body workout with a unique and challenging movement that promotes weight loss and muscle toning.

Problems solved by technology

One current difficulty that exists with conventional push-ups is that the hands of the exerciser are commonly placed upon the floor or handles.
Thus an exerciser is limited to performing one particular style of push-ups at a time.
