A handgrip and leg brace assembly is located over a horizontal bench
portion of a stretch bench that receives and supports a user's upper
torso. The handgrip is adjustable in the horizontal and vertical planes
as stretching exercises are on-going and without the user leaving the
bench proper. Additional bench adjustments provide an individualized
height setting, and these combined adjustments allow the bench to be
personalized for each given individual in order to increase the
effectiveness of certain on-the-bench stretching activities.
