ABSTRACT:
A portable device that assists exercisers who do pushups or use free weights through the difficult portion of the exercise motion, so as to allow exercisers to obtain better results more efficiently: Upper and lower surfaces, a force-generating device and a force-transferring device cooperate to transfer a selected amount of upward force to an exerciser's body (in the case of pushups) or a barbell (in the case of free-weight exercise) through a predetermined portion of the exercise motion. Thus, this device allows an exerciser to combine the benefits of variable-resistance exercise machines with the benefits of pushups and free-weight exercise. Also, exercisers not strong enough to do pushups will be able to do them with this device, other exercisers will be able to obtain better results doing pushups, and all exercisers will be able to perform back exercises with the same device, and then fold up the device into a compact briefcase size and shape for travel or storage.
