Abstract: An exercise assembly designed to strengthen and stretch predetermined portions of a user's body including but not limited to the muscle group of the abdominal area, the spinal column, and the neck particularly in the area of the cervical vertebrae. The exercise assembly includes a base portion defined by a neck engaging portion and two spaced apart shoulder engaging members mounted in overlying relation to the shoulders and on opposite sides of the neck. Two arm members extend outwardly in a forward direction relative to the orientation of the assembly on a user's body and are structured to be gripped at an outer portion by the hands of the user wherein a lifting force is exerted on the neck during the performance of a variety of specifically defined exercises by a pulling force being exerted on the arm members by the user.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards an improved abdominal exercise device and includes a body made of a rigid, substantially strong yet lightweight material having a substantially flat, generally rectangular shaped base portion, a pair of spaced, generally parallel, upstanding sidewalls, each operably connected to the base portion and having a substantially semicircular shape, and an upper portion operably connected to and spanning the base portion and sidewalls in a covering relation and further defining a planar surface also having a substantially semicircular shape. The exercise device may include a groove formed in and extending longitudinally across the upper spanning portion and may further include a cushion sized and configured to substantially cover the upper spanning portion, formed of a foam padding and soft water resistant fabric.
