Benefits of technology

[0029]In some embodiments, the point of contact between the user and device contains additional material to increase the comfort of the user. This includes the use of padding, gel or similar materials.
[0030]One method of using the device includes a user starting in a kneeling position and placing both hands on the handles while the device is on the ground, so the user is now in a static crawling (“all-fours”) position. The user then shifts the weight of their body to thereby provide a force onto the device which allows it to move away from the body as desired by the user. The user moves with the device until a near push up position is achieved. The user then rotates back up to a static crawling position. The user has the ability to vary the angle at which they rotate down so as to provide a force laterally as well as vertically, in order to isolate different abdominal and related muscles.

Problems solved by technology

However, people are often intimidated by such facilities and would prefer to exercise in their home.
Back problems currently plague a large portion of the US population.
These exercises are usually problematic for the patient due to pain.
