ABSTRACT:
The exercise apparatus of the present invention includes an elongated generally C-shaped bar with an elongated back portion and a pair of opposing curved end portions, the bar supported on a support frame in a generally horizontal plane. Each end portion includes a straight section extending outwardly from the back portion, a curved section extending forwardly and then inwardly from each straight section and an end section terminating in a free end substantially parallel to the back portion and extending inwardly from the forward ends of the curved sections. Each of the end portions is a length sufficient to permit gripping by at least one hand of a consumer, and the back portion has a length sufficient for gripping by two hands of the consumer, to enable the consumer to do pushups with a variety of different hand positions. The bar may either be free standing, on its own support stand, or connected to a pre-existing exercise framework.
