Abstract: An incline push-up stabilizer device and method, wherein the devise is comprised of a handle, spacer, and inflexible base. The inflexible base has a “W” profile, which allows the incline push-up stabilizer to temporarily, but securely, engage with a stair, so that a user may perform inclined push-ups. The incline push-up stabilizer device has a pair of orthogonally connected shared surfaces that are covered with a high-friction, flexible material, to create a gripping surface. The incline push-up stabilizer device is placed on a stair so that the gripping surface engages the stair. By doing push-ups on a positive incline, the user experiences less force with each push-up. This enables people who are fatigued, injured, out-of-shape, or old to perform push-ups.
