What is claimed is: 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. 2. A push-up exercise device, comprising: one or more body portions; one or more balance rollers; one or more balance roller hinges; one or more balance indicators; wherein said one or more body portions comprise a front body rail and a back body rail; and wherein said front body rail and said back body rail are on a bottom of said one or more body portions; 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 one or more balance rollers have an outer surface and wherein said outer surface is static; wherein said one or more balance rollers pivot on said one or more balance roller hinges from a retracted position to an extended position; wherein said one or more extended balance rollers project beyond said bottom of said one or more body portions; wherein said push-up exercise device rocks in all directions on said one or more extended balance rollers; wherein said one or more retracted balance rollers are recessed within said bottom of said front and back body rails; wherein said push-up exercise device rocks to and from a body left side and a body right side with said one or more retracted balance rollers; and wherein said one or more balance indicators indicate a balance during rocking of said push-up exercise device. 3. The push-up exercise device of claim 2, further comprising: a face plate; one or more roller friction snap holders; one or more housing friction snap holders; and one or more balance roller tabs; wherein said one or more balance indicators are between said face plate and a top of said one or more body portions; wherein said one or more roller friction snap holders hold said one or more balance rollers in said retracted position; and wherein said one or more housing friction snap holders hold said one or more balance rollers in said extended position. 4. The push-up exercise device of claim 3, further comprising: one or more handles; and one or more hand grips. 5. The push-up exercise device of claim 4, further comprising: one or more bumpers; one or more friction rails; wherein said one or more bumpers impede rocking of said push-up exercise device. 6. The push-up exercise device of claim 5, wherein said one or more balance rollers are half-spherical and are comprised of a material from the group consisting of rubber, high density foam, or high friction plastic. 7. The push-up exercise device of claim 6, wherein said one or more handles are perpendicular to said front and back body rails. 8. The push-up exercise device of claim 7, wherein said friction rails are comprised of a material from the group consisting of rubber, high density foam, or high friction plastic. 9. A push-up exercise device, comprising: a body portion, a balance roller, a balance roller hinge, a balance indicator; wherein said balance roller hinge is attached to a bottom of said body portion; wherein said balance roller has a bottom outer surface and wherein said bottom outer surface is static; wherein said body portion comprises a front body rail and a back body rail; and 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 pivots on said balance roller hinge from a retracted position to an extended position; wherein said extended balance roller projects beyond a bottom of said front and back body rails; wherein said push-up exercise device rocks in all directions on said extended balance roller; wherein said retracted balance roller is recessed within said bottom of said front and back body rails, wherein said push-up exercise device rocks to and from a body left side and a body right side with said retracted balance roller; and wherein said balance indicator indicates a balance during rocking of said push-up exercise device. 10. The push-up exercise device of claim 9, further comprising: a face plate; a roller friction snap holder; a housing friction snap holder; and a balance roller tab; wherein said one or more balance indicators are between said face plate and a top 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. 11. The push-up exercise device of claim 10, further comprising: one or more handles; and one or more hand grips. 12. The push-up exercise device of claim 11, further comprising: one or more bumpers; one or more friction rails; wherein said one or more bumpers impede rocking of said push-up exercise device; and wherein said one or more friction rails are on a bottom of said front body rail and a bottom of said back body rail. 13. The push-up exercise device of claim 12, wherein said balance roller is half-spherical and wherein said bottom outer surface of said balance roller is comprised of a material from the group consisting of rubber, high density foam, or high friction plastic. 14. The push-up exercise device of claim 13, wherein said one or more handles are perpendicular to said front and back body rails. 15.
