ABSTRACT:
A TORSO-CENTRIC EXERCISE BOARD consisting of a padded rectangular board with a padded headrest and a removable crossbar in two pieces, extending beyond the borders of the board, which crossbar is assembled by inserting one piece into a metal casing which encloses the other piece and bolting the assembled crossbar into a recessed cut in the board. In the extremeties of the crossbar on each side is a series of orifices, symmetrical and equidistant, for the adjustment of a pair of handgrips which consist of a post on a platen base, which base, when the posts or handgrips are adjusted in the orifices, supports the crossbar above the floor.
The board is provided with a handle for carrying and straps on the back for storage of the crossbars and the handgrips. The whole is of such mechanical simplicity as to avoid the problems of malfunction common in more complex mechanical devices and to make for greater economy of manufacture, without sacrificing any features necessary to its purpose which is to provide the gymnast with a necessary means of support while performing exercises which reduce the abdomen, waist and hips, strengthen the muscles of the back and abdomen and improve the circulation of blood and lymph through the body.
