CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] Not applicable. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not applicable. REFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING, A TABLE, OR A COMPUTER PROGRAM LISTING COMPACT DISC APPENDIX [0003] Not applicable. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] This device pertains to exercise, for example push ups, and improves upon: [0005] (a) doing such exercise with bare hands (using no device) [0006] (b) doing such exercise with products currently available in sporting goods stores (called "push up stands") for which no patents exist. [0007] The problems with (a) above are: push-up exercises put a great deal of stress on the user's wrist joints. My invention relieves this stress and positions the hands, wrist and arms in a more ideal posture for push up type exercises. [0008] The problems with (b) above are that they are unstable--they have too high a center of gravity and lack a stable "footprint" (supporting surface). Injuries can occur because of this instability. Further, some of them can mark/mar surfaces. [0009] Classification for my invention are: [0010] CLASS 482, EXERCISE DEVICES [0011] With the following specific sub-classes: [0012] 62 Including upper body exercise feature [0013] 93 Utilizing weight resistance (some embodiments of this device include free weights inserted in the handles or the main body of the device) [0014] 95 Body part of user utilized as weight (in prone positions, the user's body provides resistance) [0015] 126 Having pairs of handles [0016] 141 Push up device [0017] A patent was applied for, for a product that LOOKS similar, but which did not have many of the features, and which was designed for different use. I can no longer find this patent in the USPTO data base. The only information I have on this patent application (which I printed out from TESS a year ago) was: [0018] Appilication # 20030199375 [0019] Filed on Apr. 19, 2002 [0020] My invention is an improvement on the earlier filed-for device and, as mentioned, is for different types of exercise. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0021] 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. [0022] The advantages are: [0023] Better alignment of the user's wrists/arms/joints [0024] Greater stability (less likely to tip or fall while performing push-ups, dips, etc.) [0025] Non-skid (won't slide on smooth surfaces) [0026] Non-marring (won't mark [0027] None of the existing hand-held push-up devices currently on the market provide all four advantages above.
