Resistance push-up apparatus

Abstract

A resistance push-up apparatus having a harness to be worn by a user and having hooks to attach the harness to a set of free weights. The push-up apparatus allowing the user to lift his or her own weight plus the extra free weights connected to the harness during the push-up exercise. The present resistance push-up apparatus providing a safe method of completing the push-up exercise.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 - A resistance push-up apparatus comprising:
 a. a wearable harness to be worn by a user;   b. a weight system; and   c. means to connect said wearable harness to said weight system.   
     
     
         2 - The resistance push-up apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said wearable harness comprising:
 a. a chest strap to wrap around thoracic region of the user, having a front portion and a back portion;   b. a fastening means adapted to secure said chest strap around the user's chest; and   c. a pair of shoulder straps secured to said back portion and said front portions of said harness, said shoulder straps singly crossing in the back of said harness in a free manner.   
     
     
         3 - The resistance push-up apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said means to connect said wearable harness to said weight system being a snap hook. 
     
     
         4 - The resistance push-up apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said weight system comprising:
 a. a weight holder having a holder bar;   b. multiplicity of free weights to be located on the weight holder and secured on said holder bar; and   c. a protection cushion shaped to fit on the weight holder to protect said user.   
     
     
         5 - The resistance push-up apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein said weight holder comprising:
 a. a geometrically shaped flat plate;   b. a holder bar having a first end and a second end, rigidly connected to said flat plate from its first end; and   c. a ring connected to the second end of said holder bar.   
     
     
         6 - The resistance push-up apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said wearable harness comprising:
 a. a chest strap having two ends to wrap around the thoracic region of the user;   b. a pair of shoulder straps extending from the front to the back portions of the chest strap to wrap around shoulder area of the user;   c. a pair of snap hook means connected to said two ends of said chest strap; and said crossing bands to hang said connector; and   d. plurality of pads being attached to said chest straps and said shoulder straps to distribute pressure on user's chest.   
     
     
         7 - The resistance push-up apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said weight system being a long chain for variable weight purposes, said chain comprising of multiplicity of rings, each said ring having a pre-specified weight to provide resistance when doing the push-up exercise using the push-up power harness. 
     
     
         8 - The resistance push-up apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said connector being selected from the group consisting of chains, cables, and cords.
