ABSTRACT:
An abdominal/back exerciser is disclosed. The exerciser includes a frame having spaced side members and a seat attached to the frame between the side members. Foot braces extend between the side members on each side of the seat. A generally U-shaped lever assembly includes parallel side legs and a padded torso-engaging member interconnecting the side legs. The side legs are pivotally connected to the side members at a pivot axis intermediate their length. Weights are mounted at the distal end of each side leg. A stop mechanism limits the downward movement of the side legs to a start position wherein the torso-engaging member is elevated above the seat, whereby a user seated on the seat can lean against the torso-engaging member and rotate the lever assembly to raise the weights thereby exercising his abdominal muscles when facing the torso-engaging member or exercising his lower back muscles when seated with his back to the torso-engaging member.
