Abstract
Disclosed herein is an exercise device. It includes an I shaped base; a seat of a first length; a pad of a second length, the pad being at least 1/5 the length of the seat. The pad is adjustably located with respect to the seat. Further there are adjustable support means attached between said seat and said base. With this construction, the seat may be angularly adjusted with respect to the base and the pad may be adjusted along various planes with respect to the seat.
Claims20
An exercise device comprising:
- a pad member defining an upper surface;
- a base supporting the pad member;
- an elongated rail member having a first end pivotally connected to the pad member;
- a movable sled disposed adjacent the elongated rail and slidable along at least a portion of the length of the elongated rail;
- and
- at least one side rail having a first end pivotally connected to the sled and a second end pivotally connected to the pad member such that the angle of the upper surface of the pad member with respect to the elongated rail changes as the side rail pivots with respect to the elongated rail and the sled, and as the sled slides along at least a portion of the length of the elongated rail.

An exercise device comprising:
- an elongated pad defining an upper surface and a lower surface;
- a base supporting the elongated pad;
- adjustment apparatus connecting the base and the elongated pad, the adjustment apparatus having:
- a first elongated rail member extending along the length of the lower surface of the elongated pad;
- a second elongated rail member having a first end pivotally connected to the first elongated rail;
- a movable sled slidably disposed on the second elongated rail and slidable along at least a portion of the length of the second rail;
- and
- at least one side rail having a first end pivotally connected to the sled and a second end pivotally connected to the first rail such that the angle of the second rail changes as the side rail pivots with respect to the first rail and the sled and as the sled slides along at least a portion of the length of the second rail.
