An exercise apparatus is provided for aiding a user in doing push-up exercises on a floor. The apparatus includes a platform, and arch-shaped leaf springs which are connected to the platform and extend downward therefrom. The arch-shaped leaf springs include a top center portion and a pair of bottom arch ends. Axles and rollers assemblies are connected to each of the pair of bottom arch ends, for reducing friction between the bottom arch ends and the floor surface, when the bottom arch ends move horizontally along the floor during the spring energy storing downstrokes and during the spring energy releasing upstrokes of the push-up exercises. Also, linear spring members can be connected to the bottom arch ends for providing additional spring energy storage and release during push-ups, thereby further aiding a user in doing push-ups.
