Abstract:
1. An exercise device, comprising: an object having resilient properties so as to be deformable; and a hand-held frame having opposing handles for gripping by a user of the device, where said opposing handles are immovable with respect to each other during use, said frame having rigid spaced apart members adapted for squeezing therebetween said deformable object during use and during nonuse by a user of the device and to contain said deformable object within said frame and prevent rotation of said deformable object, said hand-held frame constructed with a size and weight adapted to be grasped and held with said deformable object above a body of the user while lying in a supine position so that said deformable object can be repeatedly moved up and down against the body of the user, and said handles each having a longitudinal axis, and the axes of said handles are located in a plane, and said plane intersects said deformable object, whereby the user can grip the handles and pull the deformable object against the body of the user.
