Abstract: An abdominal exercise system for effectively exercising the lower abdominal region. The abdominal exercise system includes a base having a tapered structure for creating a fulcrum and a platform positioned upon an upper portion of the base for receiving the pelvis of an individual. The base is comprised of a bottom portion, a first end portion, and a second end portion extending opposite of the first end portion. The bottom portion of the base is preferably substantially parallel to an upper surface of the platform. The first end portion preferably extends upwardly from the bottom portion at an angle less than sixty degrees. The platform preferably has a flanged portion extending from the base a finite distance for grasping by an individual. A pair of first recessed portions and a pair of second recessed portions preferably extending into the platform for receiving the hands of the individual.
