An exercise board of generally rectangular form adapted to support the body of a person thereon characterized in that the sides and ends of the board have a plurality of laterally projecting eye bolts therealong and in that the leg end of the board has a longitudinally extending ladder-like slot between the person's legs, the eye bolts and rungs of the slot being selectively engaged by hooks at the ends of flexible elastically stretchable belts for embracing selected portions of the body for exercising the muscles of the legs, groin, abdomen, back, arms, shoulders, neck and including torso or trunk twisting exercises. The exercise board herein is further characterized in that the head end has an extension therefrom which provides a cross bar longitudinally spaced from and laterally offset from the head end of the board to provide a hand grip for performing body stretching exercises.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 1.
An exercise board comprising a rectangular body support having laterally projecting eyes along opposite sides and ends thereof and having a ladder-like structure extending longitudinally between the legs of a person on said support with rungs thereacross; and an elastically stretchable belt having hooks at its ends for selective detachable engagement with said eyes and rungs to overlie a desired portion of a person's body on said support so that movement of such portion stretches said belt thus to require exertion of muscular power to so move said body portion.
2.
The exercise board of claim 1 wherein at least two of said belts, each having the hook at one end engaged with a selected rung and having the hook at the other end engaged with a selected eye on a side of the support individually embrace the desired portions of the legs of a person on said support.
3.
The exercise board of claim 1 wherein another one of said belts has the hook at one end engaged with an eye adjacent the shoulder portion of a person on said support and the hook at the other end engaged with a hand grip for trunk twisting exercise by swinging of the arm in a generally vertical plane for raising the corresponding shoulder while the person rolls on the support on the other shoulder.
4.
The exercise board of claim 1 wherein the head end of said support has a U-shaped member with its legs secured to opposite sides of said support, said legs being bent to provide a cross bar longitudinally spaced from and laterally offset from said head end for grasping by the hands of the outstretched arms of the person on said support for performing stretching exercises.
5.
The exercise board of claim 1 wherein said support comprises a tubular frame member to which eye bolts are secured to provide said eyes, and a rectangular body support panel secured to said frame member, said panel having a longitudinal slot exposing said rungs for engagement by a hook of said belt
