Portable multiple exercise apparatus sets

Abstract

A portable set of exercise equipment that includes a pair of push-up units each having a base and a rotatable handle mounted on the base, a pair of kneepad units, and a pair of roller wheel units having a set of ball bearings around the periphery of the bottom surface thereof for allowing said roller wheel units to move in any direction on a floor, and an upwardly extending shaft for meeting with corresponding apertures in the face of said push-up units and said kneepad units for mounting either of such units on the roller wheel units for movement in an and direction on the floor. A pair of handle shafts is also provided each having a central gripping portion and extending mounting portions for mounting the bases of the push-up units on either end of one of the handle shafts and the kneepad units on either end of the other of the handle shafts for forming dumbbells.

1 . Exercise apparatus suitable for allowing the user to form a plurality of different exercises targeting different muscle groups, comprising:
 (a) a pair of push-up units, each including a base and a handle mounted on said base;   (b) a pair of kneepad units, each having a resilient top surface; and   (c) a pair of roller wheel units, each having a plurality of roller bearings mounted on the bottom thereof for supporting said roller wheel unit and allowing movement thereof in any direction on a floor; each of said roller wheel units, push-up units and kneepad units including a disengageable mounting arrangement for securely mounting a push-up unit or a kneepad unit on the top of a roller wheel unit for movement therewith.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the base of each of said push-up units includes a lower part, an upper part, and a bearing member for rotatably mounting said upper part in said lower part; said handle being mounted on said upper part for rotation therewith. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 2  wherein said handle is removably mounted on said upper part. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 3  wherein said handle includes a central gripping portion and a pair of downwardly extending connector portions on either side of said gripping portion; the extremes of said connector portions including extensions for connecting and locking said handle to said upper part. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 2  wherein said bearing member includes a lower member fixedly attached to said lower part, and an upper member rotatably mounted in said lower member, said upper member being fixedly attached to said upper part. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said mounting arrangement in said roller wheel unit and said base of said push-up unit and said kneepad unit includes an shaft extending upwardly from the top of said roller wheel unit and mating apertures in said base of said push-up unit and said kneepad unit for receiving said shaft. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 6  wherein the length of said shaft is less than the vertical thickness of the base of said push-up unit and of said kneepad unit. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 6  wherein the roller bearings attached to said roller wheel units include extending ball bearings for rolling on a floor. 
     
     
         9 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 1  further including a pair of handle shafts each including a central gripping portion and mounting portions extending from both ends of said gripping portion configured for permitting the bases of said push-up units to be mounted on either end of one of said handle shafts and the kneepad units to be mounted on either end of the other of said handle shafts, and means for clamping said bases and said unit to said handle shafts for forming dumbbells. 
     
     
         10 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 9  further including additional weights mounted on both ends of said dumbbells.
