Abstract:
An exercise apparatus for performing an abdominal exercise comprising: a frame, a seat having a seating surface (PS) and a pelvic stabilization pad having a lower back engagement surface (ES), an input arm assembly interconnected by a first interconnection to a first resistance mechanism, the input arm assembly including a manually graspable mechanism for manual engagement by a user along a path of travel forwardly away from the pelvic stabilization pad.

Claim (Index 6):
The exercise apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the first resistance mechanism comprises either (a) an extendable spring that increases in resistance as the spring is increasingly extended, the spring being interconnected to the input arm assembly in an arrangement such that movement of the input arm assembly along the path of travel toward the pelvic stabilization pad increasingly extends the spring and movement toward the start motionless position reduces extension of the spring or (b) an enclosed cylinder having a piston slidably mounted within the cylinder forming opposing fluid sealed chambers within the piston, the piston being interconnected to a rod that extends outside the enclosed cylinder for driving the piston, the chambers containing a selected compressible fluid, the rod being interconnected to the input arm assembly and driven by movement of the input arm assembly from the start motionless position toward the pelvic stabilization pad to cause fluid in at least one of the chambers to compress and increase resistance against movement of the input arm assembly with an increase in the degree of compression of the fluid.
