Exercise devices having a frame, and upper and lower force receiving
members movably mounted on the frame and constrained to move in opposite
directions. A resistance device is preferably interconnected between the
frame and at least one of the force receiving members to resist movement
of the members toward one another and/or to bias the members away from
one another. The lower member is configured to support a person's feet,
and the upper member is configured to support a person's hands and/or to
engage a person's chest. The device facilitates a combination crunch and
leg lift exercise that involves both a person's upper abdominal muscles
and a person's lower abdominal muscles. The upper member may be
resiliently supported in a manner that facilitates exercise of a person's
oblique muscles, as well.
