Exercise device

Abstract

An exercise device consisting of a set of “blocks” that have the purpose of better positioning a user's wrists while the user performs various exercises, such as push-ups, dips, etc. The “blocks” are composed on (or coated/covered by) a non-marring, non-click surface, so as to reduce sliding and the possibility of marking floors or walls while exercising with the device. The user holds onto the “blocks” by means of molded or inserted hands/bars/grips. Additionally, the blocks (or their handles) can be weighted with permanent or removable or exchangeable weights so as to vary the intensity of any workout/exercise performed while holding the blocks and/or their handles.

1 . A set of three-dimensional “blocks” (in the form of squares, rectangles, spheres or any regular or irregular geometric or natural shape) with the purpose and functionality of better positioning/supporting a user's hands/wrists/arms/shoulders/joints while the user performs various exercises such as push-ups, dips, etc.  
   
   
       2 . A means of holding/gripping the blocks, such as indentations, molded handles/grips, removable or fixed handles/bars, protruding handles/bars, etc., all padded or not.  
   
   
       3 . the quality of being composed (or covered/coated by) a non-marring material such as foam, rubber, plastic, or other synthetic or natural substance that has the additional property of reducing skidding/sliding while performing exercises.  
   
   
       4 . The ability to add weights to the blocks and/or handles by means of affixing weights to the surface, inserting weights into hollows/chambers, and/or inserting the blocks into weighted interfacing plates, “shoes” or other interfacing objects.  
   
   
       5 . In some embodiments, the quality of having a rounded, conical, sloping or other wise non-flat bottom surface, causing the user to bring more muscles/effort into play while performing exercises.  
   
   
       6 . In some embodiments, the quality of being/having inflatable components, thus increasing size, flexibility and variety of exercises, with or without adding weight.
