    Abstract: A body stretching and exercising device which is characterized by a frame fitted with upward-standing hand rails, a stationary foot support mounted on one end of the frame and a carriage having one end pivotally attached to the frame and slidably receiving a foot trolley. The carriage can be pivoted from a substantially horizontal position within the frame to an acute angle with respect to the frame, in order to facilitate placing one foot on the stationary foot support and the other foot on the foot trolley and stretching leg and groin muscles at various selected angles with respect to the horizontal. In a most preferred embodiment, a pair of slotted plates are disposed in spaced, parallel relationship on the frame and are provided with slots to receive one end of a carriage support which is pivoted to the carriage, in order to elevate the carriage and foot trolley to a selected stretching angle with respect to the horizontal.
