Abstract: An exercise apparatus for exercising core muscles of a user, the exercise apparatus comprising: a base; at least two support beams extending from the base and adapted to receive an exercise ball; a support stem extending substantially vertically from the base; a leg support bar located at a distal end of the support stem and disposed substantially horizontally with respect to the base; a first locking pad disposed at a proximal end of the leg support bar adapted to engage a posterior surface of the user's knees; and a second locking pad disposed at a distal end of the leg support bar adapted to engage an anterior surface of the user's lower leg.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus for exercising the core muscles of a user comprising: a base; at least two support beams extending from said base and adapted to receive an exercise ball; a support stem extending substantially vertically from said base; a leg support bar located at a distal end of said support stem and disposed substantially horizontally with respect to said base; a first locking pad disposed at a proximal end of said leg support bar adapted to engage the posterior surface of said user's knees; a second locking pad disposed at a distal end of said leg support bar adapted to engage the anterior surface of said user's lower leg; wherein, in use, a user engages their legs with said first and second locking pads and whose weight is supported by an exercise ball located in engagement with said support beams such that said user is able to perform an exercise through a full range of movement of said user's core muscle groups whilst remaining supported through said full range of movement.
