1. An exercise device comprising a support frame;
- a skeletal frame mounted on said support frame for rocking back and forth under a manually applied force from a user between a first position and a second position;
a rest mounted on said skeletal frame for receiving a body part of a user positioned within said skeletal frame; and
means for dynamically resisting rocking of said skeletal frame relative to said support frame from said first position to said second position.

Abstract
A skeletal frame is pivotally mounted on a support frame to enable a user in a supine position to conduct an abdominal exercise. The skeletal frame includes a padded rest in which the user may rest his/her head. A pair of elastic members are secured to and between these skeletal frame and the support in one mode of operation to assist the user in conducting the abdominal exercise. In another mode of operation, the elastic members dynamically resist the exercise routine. The exercise device may be employed to conduct a “push-up” exercise routine.

11. An exercise device comprising
a support frame; -
a skeletal frame mounted on said support frame for rocking back and forth under a manually applied force from a user between a lowered first position and a raised second position;
a head rest mounted on said skeletal frame for receiving a head of a user positioned within said skeletal frame; and
means for dynamically assisting rocking of said skeletal frame relative to said support frame from said lowered first position to said raised second position. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. An exercise device comprising
a support frame; -
a skeletal frame pivotally mounted on said support frame on a pivot axis;
a head rest mounted on said skeletal frame for receiving a head of a user lying in a supine position within said skeletal frame; and
a pair of elongated elastic members, each said member being secured to and between said support frame and said skeletal frame whereby pivoting of said skeletal frame on said support frame from a first position to a second position causes stretching of said members. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

31. The combination comprising
a skeletal frame mounted for rocking back and forth on a support surface under a manually applied force from a user disposed within said frame between a first position and a second position; -
a rest mounted on said skeletal frame for receiving a body part of a user positioned within said frame; and
means for dynamically increasing the resistance to rocking of said skeletal frame relative to the support surface from said first position to said second position. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34)
