Embodiment Construction

[0012]Abdominal exercise chair 10 of FIG. 1 includes seat 12 rotatably secured to frame 13, spinal guide 14, pad or headrest 16 and handles 18.

[0013]In use, as shown in FIG. 2, a user seated on seat 12 reaches back over each shoulder and grasps handles 18 and may bend forward pulling spinal guide 14 against one or more resistance elements such as resistance element 20. A user may also bend to a side working against the resistance elements and or twist against the resistance elements to perform abdominal exercise. Any suitable combination of these motions may also be performed. Spinal guide 14 may enclose the resistance elements for safety and provide padded support to a user's spine during exercise.

[0014]Abdominal exercise chair 10 of FIG. 3 is illustrated with protective cover, spinal cover 22 removed to expose the spinal blocks forming spinal guide 14. Spinal socket 23 engages frame post 13P and may provide vertical adjustment to configure the abdominal exercise chair to correspon...

Abstract

An abdominal exercise chair includes two or more spinal blocks flexibly engaged together along with one or more resistance elements to provide resistance and support for a user's back as the user bends forward, backward, to the side and twists to perform exercise. One or more handles at the top of the spinal support column enable a user to engage their hands to pull and twist while keeping their spine adjacent to the spinal support.
