Abstract

An exercise device with a hand grip movable along a surface by a user. The hand grip has a braking device that allows the user to selectively prevent the hand grip from moving along the surface. The exercise device may also include optional knee/foot dollies and resistance bands.

Claims

1. An exercise device comprising:

a hand grip movable along a surface by a user, said hand grip comprising a braking device for preventing said hand grip from moving along said surface.

2. The device of claim 1 wherein said braking device further comprises a brake grip.

3. The device of claim 2 wherein said hand grip further comprises a handle, and said brake grip extends downward from the handle.

4. The device of claim 2 wherein said brake grip extends upward with respect to the surface.

5. The device of claim 1 wherein said braking device further comprises a scissor lift.

6. The device of claim 1 wherein said braking device further comprises a brake plate for contacting the surface.

7. The device of claim 6 wherein said brake plate is generally rectangular in shape.

8. The device of claim 6 wherein said brake plate is generally diamond-shaped.

9. The device of claim 1 wherein said braking device comprises an outside casing that contacts the surface.

10. The device of claim 1 wherein said hand grip further comprises at least one wheel, and wherein said braking device contacts said wheel in order to prevent the hand grip from moving along the surface.

11. The device of claim 1 wherein said braking device comprises:

a brake grip;

a scissor lift coupled to the brake grip; and

a brake plate coupled to the scissor lift.

12. The device of claim 1 wherein said braking device comprises:

a brake grip;

a brake bar coupled to the brake grip; and

a brake plate for contacting the surface.

13. The device of claim 1 wherein said hand grip further comprises at least one wheel.

15. The device of claim 1 wherein said hand grip further comprises at least four wheels.

16. The device of claim 1 wherein said hand grip further comprises:

a handle;

a base plate coupled to said handle; and

a plurality of wheels coupled to said base plate.

17. The device of claim 1 further comprising at least one anchor for anchoring a resistance band.

18. The device of claim 1 further comprising another of said hand grip.

19. The device of claim 1 further comprising a knee/foot dolly.

20. The device of claim 19 wherein said knee/foot dolly comprises a crevice shaped to support both a user'"'"'s knee and foot, wherein the user may select to place either his knee or his foot in said crevice.

21. The device of claim 19 wherein said knee/foot dolly comprises removable knee padding.

22. The device of claim 19 wherein said knee/foot dolly comprises at least one anchor.

14. The device of claim 14 wherein said wheel is generally spherical.

23. An exercise device comprising:

a hand grip movable in any direction along a surface, said hand grip comprising a device for allowing a user to selectively alternate between moving the hand grip along the surface and stopping the hand grip on the surface.

24. An exercise device comprising:

a handle;

a base plate coupled to said handle;

wheels coupled to said base plate; and

a brake grip coupled to a brake plate, said brake plate contacting a surface when a user grips the brake grip.
