ABSTRACT:
A working element, such as a ball (4) is held at a preselected position in front of a user exercising abdominal muscles. The ball is supported (9, 31a, 31b, 44) by a positioning device (6) for positioning lower members of the user. The lower member positioning device includes at least one of a user knee positioning member (11, 15, 74) and a foot or ankle positioning member (10). A frame or other connecting element (21, 22, 40, 42, 61, 71) interconnects the foot and knee positioning elements in a preselected relationship. A flexible or spring mounting (14) or flexible straps (31a, 31b, 44) permit the ball (4) to be resiliently displaced during exercise.
