An abdominal exerciser including a leg rest assembly optionally pivotally connected to a weighted main frame. The leg rest assembly may include a first member and second and third members extending transversely from the first member. One or more pads may be affixed about the first member. The second and third members may terminate in a hinge member such as a female coupler. The main frame may include a plurality of curved members connected at an apex at a first end thereof. Second ends of the members may terminate in a hinge member such as a male coupler. If disconnected, the leg rest assembly and main frame are connected by making the hinge members, e.g., the male and female couplers. A person utilizes the abdominal exerciser by forcing the leg rest assembly downwardly by exerting pressure thereagainst by the person's calves until the person's feet are flat against the floor. The person then exercises by constricting the person's abdominal muscles, while maintaining the person's feet flat against the floor. The weight exerted against the person's calves further enhances the exercise experience. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. Hence, this abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
