ABSTRACT:
An exercise device for performing both sit-up and hyperextension exercises has a frame with front and rear base members and front and rear inclined portions that extend downwardly from an apex toward the front and rear base members, respectively. A back pad is pivotally mounted to the rear inclined portion of the frame and is adjustable over a range of declination angles. The front inclined portion of the frame includes a slideable member that is telescopically adjustable. A cushioned pad is transversely disposed at the upper end of the slideable member and serve as both a knee support for performing abdominal exercises and an upper thigh support for performing hyperextensions. Below this cushioned pad, a similar cushioned pad is pivotally attached to the slideable member to serve as a foot restraint when performing abdominal exercises. This same cushioned pad may be rotated against the first such pad to provide additional support for the operator's upper thighs when performing hyperextensions. A third cushioned pad is transversely disposed immediately above the front base member and is used to restrain upper movement of the operator's feet when performing hyperextensions. Immediately below this third cushioned pad are a pair of foot pads to support the operator's feet in the hyperextension mode.
