  • To alleviate this problem, the present invention fulfills the need for a exercise device that, when the user opens the device, it forms an L shape, with the lower panels forming a base for the user to place his hands upon while performing the angled push up exercise, and the upper panels in which are incorporated elevated foot supports, enabling the user to elevate his feet during the angled push up exercise, and which can be folded in the open position when in use or folded in the closed position when not in use. The upper and lower panels of the device can be folded together also when not in use and easily stored. The product can be produced from a lightweight, durable, and recycled plastic.
    • BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, there is disclosed a machine for doing an angled push up exercise comprising: two or more upper panels, two or more lower panels, elevated foot supports. The lower panels form a base for the user to place his hands upon while he performs the push up exercise. The elevated foot supports are incorporated into the upper panels and enable the user to vary his foot elevation height while he performs the push up exercise. The device has a collapse able design in which the upper and lower panels can be folded together in the closed position or unfolded into the open or “L” shaped configuration. The primary object of the invention is to provide an exercise device that enables the user to elevate his feet at various heights, using elevated foot supports that can be folded in the open position while he performs the push up exercise, thereby targeting different muscles of the chest and shoulders, and folded in the closed position when not in use.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an exercise device in which the lower panels form a base for the user to place his hands upon while he performs the push up exercise. Another object of the invention is to provide an exercise device that serves as a stable alternative to makeshift props. A further object of the invention is to provide an exercise device that promotes physical fitness.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide an exercise device that provides a collapsible design for easy storage.
