In the pivoting condition, a backboard, pivotally mounted to a frame, is configured for a user to lay on the backboard and alternately raise and lower their hips, while supporting their feet on a foot plate. In a fixed condition, the backboard is positioned proximal to the foot plate, and a user may perform one or more abdominal exercises.

Abstract: A sash adapted to be worn over a shoulder of a wearer and configured for holding tools and equipment. The sash includes a strap delimited by oppositely-disposed first and second ends and by first and second edges that are between the first and second ends. The first and second edges define inner and outer arcuate edge portions, respectively, between which an arcuate chest strap portion is defined and which lies against the wearer's chest with the inner arcuate edge above the outer arcuate edge when the sash is slung over the wearer's shoulder. The first and second ends of the strap are adapted to be fastened together to define a back strap portion of the sash that lies against the wearer's back. Pockets are located on the chest strap portion and extend between the inner and outer arcuate edges in a radial direction.
