Folding exercise board and methods of using same

An exercise board comprising:

• a foldable rigid support component configured to be of sufficient length to support a user lying horizontally, the rigid support component comprising a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment with each segment comprising an upper side surface and a lower side surface, each of the first segment, the second segment, and the third segment being formed from at least one of a thermoplastic material and a thermoset material and having a reinforcing frame extending along a length and a width thereof;
• a first cushion mounted to the upper side surface of the first segment, a second cushion mounted to the upper side surface of the second segment, and a third cushion mounted to the upper side surface of the third segment;
• and
• a first hinge connecting the first segment and the second segment, and a second hinge connecting the second segment and the third segment, the first hinge allowing the exercise board to lay flat in a functional exercise position with substantially no gap between the first segment and the second segment at a region of the exercise board adjacent to the first hinge when the exercise board is in both folded and unfolded configurations, the second hinge allowing the exercise board to lay flat in the functional exercise position with substantially no gap between the second segment and the third segment at a region of the exercise board adjacent to the second hinge when the exercise board is in both the folded and unfolded configurations, the first hinge and the second hinge allowing the board to fold closed during non-use with the lower side surface of the first segment and the lower side surface of the third segment in contact with the lower side surface of the second segment.
