ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a device to aid in spreading a person's legs to increase the flexibility of the groin and thigh muscles. The device employs a bar having a central curved segment that engages the lower back region. Each end of the bar has a pulley through which a cord extends with a handgrip and a stirrup at opposite ends of the cord. The user sits on the floor and places their feet through the respective stirrups, and pulls on the handgrips which pull the feet to spread the legs.
