Abstract
The device is preferably constructed in the form of a V-shaped buttocks support that may be used on a table or the like for support in a seated position, or on the floor for support in a supine position. From the vertex of the support each leg thereof is similarly contoured with high and low sections, including a high point at the vertex, to enable use of the device, by direct body contact therewith, in different body positions. In either seated or supine positions, the user can direct his or her body weight to various buttocks muscles with the assistance of leg motion to open and close the legs and thus direct contact with the device to different muscle areas. Thus, muscle contraction exercises can be performed with the legs in a stationary position to provide a toning and firming of the exercised muscles.
