Abstract
A horizontal rotary torso exercising apparatus allows a user to strengthen the core muscles of the body and obtain maximum flexibility of the spine without squeezing or pinching the intervertebral discs or nerves. The apparatus is comprised of a frame supporting a longitudinally adjustable bench covered by a contoured pad. The contoured pad follows the natural curvature of the spine by providing a raised lumbar region with lateral pads. A rod is supported by the frame with two collars including bearings. At one end of the rod is a rack for holding weights and at the opposite end is a height adjustable leg rest. The user lies supine on the bench, places knees over the leg rest, and rotates the lower body at the waist side to side through a number of repetitions. The movement rotates the leg rest, the rod, and the rack about the axis of the rod.
