BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] This invention relates generally to an abdominal exercise device and more particularly to an abdominal exercise device that utilizes one or more sliding motions for the purpose of exercising the abdominal muscles. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Various exercising equipment and equipment free methods of exercising have been developed for exercising the abdominal muscles. Abdominal muscles are generally difficult to isolate and strengthen. Many hours and years of exercise are generally necessary to produce a significant effect on the abdominal musculature. Exercising these muscles may create strain and pressure on the back and neck muscles, depending on the technique used. Additionally, failure to maintain consistent and proper alignment while exercising the abdominal muscles may result an ineffective workout as well as injury. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005] An exercise device according to the present invention allows a user to exercise his abdominal region by lying on his back while extending the arms away from the body. The device has a hand-gripping member positioned generally above the user's head which the user grips while exercising. The force which the user exerts on the gripping element reduces the strain and pressure on the user's neck and back muscles, thus providing an isolated work out for mainly the abdominal muscles. The hand-gripping member allows for a wide range of motion which may include side-to-side, front-to-back, diagonal, and/or rotational motion. As such the user can exercise his abdominal region by moving in a variety of different directions, while keeping his arms extended. The device additionally provides the user with a technique of achieving proper and consistent alignment for achieving maximum results. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION [0006] It is an object of the present invention to provide an exercise device for working mainly the abdominal muscles. [0007] It is another object of the present invention to provide an exercise device for working mainly the abdominal muscles by enabling a user to move the upper body according to a wide range of motions. [0008] It is yet another object of the present invention to provide an exercise device which allows the user to achieve maximum extension of the arms while exercising mainly the abdominal muscles. [0009] These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from a review of the following specification and accompanying drawings.
