The slide rods18are arcuate so that a center section20of each slide rod18is positioned closer to a horizontal surface upon which the frame12is positioned, as shown inFIG. 3. The slide rods18are rectangularly shaped when viewed longitudinally.

A glider22is slidably coupled to the frame12. The glider22is slidable between a front30and a back32of the frame12. The glider22comprises a pair of slide bars24. Each of a pair of channels26is positioned longitudinally through a respective slide bar24. Each slide rod18is complementary to and slidably positioned in a respective channel26.

A biaser28is coupled to the frame12and the glider22so that the glider22is biased to the front30of the frame12. The biaser28comprises a pair of springs34, as shown inFIG. 1. Each spring34is coupled to and extends between the frame12and the glider22. The springs34are positioned singly proximate to opposing sides36of the frame12. Each of a pair of sleeves38is positioned over a respective spring34.

A base40is coupled to a bottom42of the frame12, as shown inFIG. 1. The base40is positioned to elevate the frame12from a horizontal surface. The base40comprises a first footing bar44and a second footing bar46. The first footing bar44is coupled to the front30of the frame12so that opposing endpoints48of the first footing bar44extend past the opposing sides36of the frame12. The second footing bar46is coupled to the back32of the frame12so that opposing termini50of the second footing bar46extend past the opposing sides36of the frame12.

Each of a pair of first extensions52is coupled to and extends arcuately from a respective opposing endpoint48of the first footing bar44toward the back32of the frame12, as shown inFIG. 2. Each of a pair of second extensions54is coupled to and extends arcuately from a respective opposing terminus50of the second footing bar46away from the frame12, as shown inFIG. 4.

A leg plate56is coupled to and is selectively extensible from the glider22. The leg plate56is padded. The leg plate56is substantially rectangularly shaped. Each of a set of four first tubes58is coupled to and extends between a respective corner114of the leg plate56and an associated slide bar24. Each first tube58is perpendicular to the associated slide bar24. Each first tube58comprises a plurality of nested sections60so that the first tubes58are selectively extensible from the slide bars24, as shown inFIG. 3. The leg plate56is pivotally coupled to each first tube58distal from the slide bars24so that the leg plate56is angularly positionable relative to the frame12. The plurality of nested sections60comprises an upper section62and a lower section64.

Each of four sets of holes66is positioned in the lower section64of a respective first tube58, as shown inFIG. 3. Each set of holes66comprises three holes. Each of a set of first pins68is coupled to the upper section62of a respective first tube58. The first pins68are spring loaded. The first pin68is selectively alignable with and insertable into a respective hole66that is positioned in the lower section64of the respective first tube58. The upper section62is coupled to the lower section64to fixedly position the leg plate56relative to the slide bars24.

An elbow plate70is coupled to and selectively extensible from the front30of the frame12. The elbow plate70is padded. The elbow plate70is substantially rectangularly shaped.

Each of a pair of second tubes72is coupled to and extends perpendicularly from a respective opposing side36of the frame12adjacent to the front30of the frame12. Each second tube72comprises a plurality of nested segments74so that the second tube72is selectively extensible from the frame12, as shown inFIG. 3. The plurality of nested segments74includes an upper segment76and a lower segment78.

Each of two sets of orifices80is positioned in the lower segment78of a respective second tube72, as shown inFIG. 3. Each set of orifices80comprises five orifices. Each of a pair of second pins82is coupled to the upper segment76of a respective second tube72. The second pins82are spring loaded. The second pin82is selectively alignable with and insertable into a respective orifice80that is positioned in the lower segment78of the respective second tube72to couple the upper segment76to the lower segment78.

A pair of handles84is coupled singly to the second tubes72distal from the frame12, as shown inFIG. 2. The handles84are configured to be grasped in hands of a user. The user's elbows are positioned on the elbow plate70and the user's legs are positioned on the leg plate56. The user is positioned to push the glider22from the front30to the back32of the frame12to exercise abdominal and leg muscles of the user. The biaser28urges the glider22to return to the front30of the frame12when the user ceases pushing on the leg plate56.

The elbow plate70is coupled to and extends between the armbars88.

A crossbar90is coupled to and extends between the pair of second tubes72distal from the frame12, as shown inFIG. 3. A display module92is coupled to the crossbar90. The display module92comprises a power module94, a microprocessor96, and a screen98. The microprocessor96is operationally coupled to the power module94. The screen98is operationally coupled to the microprocessor96.

A sensor100is coupled to the frame12, as shown inFIG. 1. The sensor100is operationally coupled to the display module92. The sensor100is positioned to register a cycle of the glider22moving away from and returning to the front30of the frame12. The sensor100is positioned so as to signal the microprocessor96of a completion of a cycle by the user, wherein the microprocessor96will then signal the screen98to present the total completed number of cycles to the user.

The assembly10comprises a plurality of weights102, as shown inFIG. 1. Each weight102has a respective mass so that the plurality of weights102comprises weights that have a variety of masses. The weights102are selectively couplable to the glider22to increase resistance to movement of the glider22from the front30toward the back32of the frame12. Each weight102is disc shaped and has a center hole104.

Each of a pair of support rods106is coupled to and extends from a respective first tube58so that the support rod106extends outwardly from an associated opposing side36of the frame12, as shown inFIG. 4. The support rods106are positioned on the first tubes58that are positioned proximate to the back32of the frame12. The support rod106is positioned to insert into a respective center hole104to couple an associated weight102to the glider22.

Each of a plurality of rings108is positioned to insertably couple to a respective support rod106so that the ring108is positioned between adjacently positioned weights102. Each of a pair of fasteners110is selectively couplable to a respective support rod106to retain the respective weight102on the support rod106. Each fastener110comprises a spring clamp112.

In use, the user couples the weights102to the support rods106to obtain a desired level of resistance to movement of the glider22from the front30to the back32of the frame12. With the user's elbows positioned on the elbow plate70and the user's legs positioned on the leg plate56, the user is positioned to push the glider22from the front30to the back32of the frame12to exercise the abdominal and the leg muscles of the user. The biaser28urges the glider22to return to the front30of the frame12.
