US Patent 10500431 Exercise device

The current document is directed to an improved exercise device that facilitates isometric back-stretching exercises and other isometric exercises. One implementation of the improved exercise device includes a tubular U-shaped frame to which two conforming thigh pads are rotatably and slidably mounted. In this implementation, a tubular T-shaped extension is removably attached to the U-shaped frame to provide two leg pads mounted to a crossbar member of the T-shaped extension. The plane of the U-shaped frame is inclined with respect to the plane of the T-shaped extension. The U-shaped frame includes two handles at each end, each handle comprising a tubular handgrip that fits over the ends of the U-shaped frame.
