An apparatus is provided herein for resistance exercise of the major muscle groups in the legs and gluteal areas. The apparatus is in the form of a four-wheel push cart comprising (a) a vertical frame structure having a front spaced pair of wheels and a back spaced pair of wheels operatively affixed to the frame structure at the lower end thereof, the wheels rollable along a supporting surface; (b) a transverse handlebar affixed to the frame structure at its upper end; and (c) a free-weight holder affixed to the frame structure, preferably in the form of a bar, for installing and removing free weights. In the practice of the invention, following installation of the desired amount of free weight onto the push cart, one would grasp the handlebar and push and pull the cart so that it rolls back and forth across the supporting surface. The push cart offers a simple and effective form of resistance exercise.
