Abstract: The present invention relates to a saucer which is adapted to be used in exercising various muscle groups. The saucer includes a frustroconical base having a lower end of a first diameter and an upper end of an enlarged diameter. A number of straps are employed on the upper surface of the frustroconical base for use in securing a user thereon. Thus, with a user secured to the upper surface of the frustroconical base, they may shift their weight in such a manner that the device no longer rests on the lower surface of the base, and thus rests upon the tapered sidewall. The user can then commence various exercising routines in an effort to exercise difficult to reach muscle groups.
