Abstract: An exercise device comprises a plurality of parallel structures having adequate length or height to insert the active foot of an operator and further comprises foot support means interconnecting the plurality of parallel structures, means to secure weights, and means to add or subtract weights. The device may be constructed of rigid or flexible materials or a combination of rigid and flexible materials. The device may also comprise means to minimize swinging motion. An operator, having an active leg and foot, inserts an active foot within the space between parallel structures, engages the foot support means with an active foot to perform lower body muscle exercises, for example, the quadruped hip extension exercise for the benefit of the gluteus muscle group, leg extensions for the benefit of the vastus medialis muscle or leg contractions for the benefit of the posterior thigh muscle group.
