ABSTRACT:
An abdominal exercise apparatus comprising a platform having two upwardly extending sidewalls. Positioned between the sidewalls and over the platform is an adjustable belt including an abdominal pad. The belt is connected to the platform by elastic cords which extend from either side of the belt through the sidewalls and attach underneath the platform on a series of hooks. In use, the belt is tightened across the abdomen of a user so that as the user rotates forward in a "sit-up" or "crunch" type exercise, the abdominal pad and elastic cords provide direct resistance to the abdomen for an isometric and kinetic abdominal exercise.
