Abstract

A physical exercise device comprising a lower back support pad and a thigh support pad or a single support pad. These support pads are coupled to a buckle. The buckle may in turn be coupled to a suspension system anchored to a surface positioned at least substantially above the buckle. The buckle may provide a taut connection to the suspension system, so that the user may relax into the pads, which would then support the user'"'"'s weight, permitting the user to concentrate on rotating or otherwise controlling the muscles adjacent to the pelvis, particularly the inner abdomen.
