An exercise kit, and a method of using it, which includes an exercise apparatus having a compact curved base member, which generally conforms to the shape of the back of a user, and a set of transverse rollers which are adapted to enable the base member to roll upwardly and downwardly over a wall or other such surface. A device enables the base member to be worn on the lower back of the user, who can press the rollers against a wall as the user performs various excercises, for enabling the leg muscles to be exercised in a comfortable, easy manner. The base member is also curved transversely to distribute pressure uniformly over a large area of the back to help reduce discomfort to the wearer. A pair of spaced apart transverse rollers for distributing pressure across a large area of a wall uniformly, each include an extruded thermoplastic member to help make the apparatus relatively inexpensive to manufacture, and light in weight. A guard disposed at a top portion of the base member helps to prevent the clothing of the user from inadvertently becoming entangled in the rollers during use. An adjustable stand used in conjunction with the exercise apparatus includes a removable platform which is supported above the floor to limit the downward movement of the user during a first exercise routine, and which is placed on the floor to engage the foot of the user during a second exercise routine.
