Abstract
A back, side, or abdominal support for use when exercising. The support comprises a base support and at least one auxiliary support. The base support has a first base surface and a second base surface. The second base surface is generally planar. The first base surface is at least partially arcuate, and adapted to substantially complement a first surface of one of the auxiliary supports. A second surface of one of the auxiliary supports is adapted to substantially complement a first surface of another one of the auxiliary supports. The first base surface may be on the top or the bottom of the base support. The auxiliary supports stack to add height to the back support without substantially increasing its length or width. A person using the support to exercise may choose the difficulty of the exercise by choosing how many of the at least one auxiliary supports to use in conjunction with the base support.
