ABSTRACT:
An exerciser for the abdominal muscles. A shell (22) has a weight (24) attached to it by means of a belt (30). The shell (22) is formed such as to present an edge (26). The shell (22) is attached to the waist by a second belt (34) so that the edge (26) is brought to bear against the abdominal muscles selected by the user. The muscles selected by the edge (26) are exercised by exerting them against the resistive force of the weight. Tactile feedback from the edge (26) is used to assure the exercise of the desired muscle group. The abdominal muscles are exercised by holding the edge (26) in place centrally and vertically on the abdomen A and exerting and relaxing the abdominal muscles against the edge. Alternatively, the edge may be forced against the abdominal muscles; handgrips may be provided for this purpose.
