Abstract: An inflatable exercise device for cushioning and supporting the body when used by an exerciser doing sit-up type exercises to stress the exerciser's abdominal muscles. The one-piece device is comprised of at least one hollow inflatable chamber containing a pressurized fluid medium and is formed from a thin flexible resilient plastic material. One portion of said chamber when inflated is generally T-shaped and supports the buttocks, tailbone and lumbar spine areas of the exerciser. The other portion of said chamber when inflated is generally U-shaped and supports the upper and lower back muscles of the exerciser to provide a pelvic tilt effect when the exerciser moves reciprocatably and pivotally between essentially prone and sit-up positions to assist in such pivotal movement. The pressurized hollow chamber of the device maintains the exerciser in longitudinal alignment and out of contact with the device supporting surface, with the user's weight comfortably supported.
