The exercise device comprises a frame (110), configured to be supported by the user and a radially outwardly facing channel (130; FIG. 6), the channel (130) configured to receive a resistance member. The frame defines an aperture (112) configured to receive a torso of the user and the device (100) is configured to provide a resistance force against which the user can exercise when the device (100) is in use. Also claimed is a kit of parts comprising the device (100) and a resistance member, and a method of exercising core muscles of one’s torso.

Abstract: A portable rebound (or deflecting) sports training device having at least a first rebound panel or surface adapted to rebound a ball away from the device, and a support structure adapted to hold the panel in a first, operational condition in which the panel is held generally upright; the panel and the support structure having a second, transport or storage, configuration relative to each other such that the panel and support structure lie flatter (or generally flat) relative to each other in the direction transverse to the rebound panel such that the device occupies less space.
