Convex push-up handles
First Claim
1. A push-up device for assisting a user in performing exercises on a floor surface, comprising:
- a pair of rigid shells each having a convex outer surface and a concave inner surface, each surface connected by a peripheral edge that defines a shell opening, each shell adapted to mechanically, selectively mutually and removably attach at the peripheral edges thereof to form a container thereby;
a means for handling fixed to the concave inner surface within each shell and adapted to be grasped by one hand of the user;
a fastening arrangement on an inner concave surface of each shell;
whereby the container is separable into two shells and a user is able to grasp the means for handling of each shell to perform exercises on a floor surface by pressing each outer shell surface against the floor surface, the user continuously stabilizing the device on the floor surface, and whereby the user subsequently attaches each shell mutually together to re-form the container for storage and portage.

Abstract
A device for assisting a user in performing push-up exercises on a floor surface is disclosed. The device includes at least one rigid shell that has a convex outer surface and a concave inner surface. Each surface is mutually connected by a peripheral edge that defines a shell opening. A means for handling is fixed with the concave inner surface within each shell and is adapted to be grasped by the user. Preferably a pair of such shells are adapted to mechanically, selectively and mutually attach at the peripheral edges thereof to form a container thereby. In use, the user grasps the means for handling of each of the shells with either hand and perform exercises on the floor surface by pressing each shell against the floor surface. The convex outer surface requires the user to continuously stabilize the device on the floor surface, thereby exercising muscles not normally exercised while performing the exercises.
