Abstract: An exercise apparatus supports plank and core-strength movements by engaging a user's upper limbs and supporting the user above a ground surface. A rigid frame carries at least one upper-limb support pad arranged to support a portion of the upper limb; a hand grip can be grasped while the limb rests on the pad. The pad and grip can be repositioned, re-oriented, or spaced to suit different body sizes, exercise variants, or load angles. A ground-engaging surface permits placement for use on indoor floors, mats, or outdoor terrain.
