<p>An exercise apparatus for abdominal strength training that includes a resilient member 17 anchored at one end to a base 11 and with a grip 20 at the other end. The apparatus is adapted such that the anchored end is substantially behind a user U and the gripping end is positioned at, adjacent or over a shoulder of the user to load abdominal muscles of the user when pulling the resilient member into a "stretched position". The apparatus is intended to be relatively portable. Alternatives to a specific "elastic cord" type resilient member 17 are disclosed.</p> |
