An exercise apparatus having a lower body support for supporting a lower body portion of the user, and an upper body support for supporting an upper body portion of the user. The lower support has a first end portion toward which the user's feet are positioned and a second end portion toward which the user's upper legs are positioned. The upper support has a first end portion toward which the user's head is positioned and a second end portion toward which the user's lower back is positioned. The support second end portions are positioned toward each other and coupled together for angular movement therebetween about a pivot axis of a pivot coupler. The pivot axis is located at about the position of an imaginary line extending between the user's hip joints when the user is resting on the supports in position for exercise. First and second members are coupled to the lower and upper supports, respectively, to hold them in an elevated position and permit their pivotal movement relative to the other support. A foot stop is attached to the lower body support first end portion and selectively moveable along the lower support first end portion to be engaged by the user's feet and limit movement of the user's body toward the lower support first end portion during exercise to keep the hinge line of the user's hip joints generally coincident with the pivot axis of the pivot coupler.
