Abstract:
1. A method of performing an exercise movement, the steps comprising: providing a push-up exercise device, wherein said push-up exercise device is comprised of a body portion, a balance roller, a balance roller hinge, a balance indicator, a face plate, a roller friction snap holder, a housing friction snap holder, a balance roller tab, one or more handles, one or more hand grips, one or more bumpers, and one or more friction rails; wherein said body portion comprises a front body rail and a back body rail; wherein said front body rail and said back body rail are on a bottom of said body portion; wherein said front body rail and said back body rail are curved upward from a middle of said front and back body rails; wherein said balance roller has an outer surface; wherein said outer surface is static; wherein said balance indicator is between said face plate and a top of said body portion; wherein said balance roller pivots on said balance roller hinge from a retracted position to an extended position; wherein said extended balance roller projects beyond said bottom of said body portion; wherein said roller friction snap holder holds said balance roller in said retracted position; and wherein said housing friction snap holder holds said balance roller in said extended position; shifting said balance rollers of said push-up exercise device from said retracted position to said extended position; setting said push-up exercise device on a surface wherein said balance roller contacts said surface; positioning a body over said push-up exercise device; wherein an upper portion of said body is above said push-up exercise device, and a lower portion of said body extends distally away from said push-up exercise device; grasping said push-up exercise device with one or more hands of said body; balancing said push-up exercise device on said one or more balance rollers, wherein said push-up exercise device rocks in any direction; and wherein said bottom of said friction rails are not in contact with said surface; lowering said upper portion of said body towards said push-up exercise device and simultaneously maintaining a balance of said push-up exercise device; raising said upper portion of said body away from said push-up exercise device and simultaneously maintaining said balance of said push-up exercise device; using one or more senses of said body to determine if said balance of said push-up exercise device is maintained; and repeating said lowering and said raising steps until a desired number of repetitions is complete.
