BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an exercise device, and more particularly to an exercise device that can exercise different muscles of the human body. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] People participate in sports to maintain their health. For example, people may run, play football, basketball or other field sports. However, a sports field is available to only a limited number people and may not be appropriate for a large number of people on a holiday. In addition, people usually are charged for use of the sports field. Therefore, conventional exercises device have been developed for people to exercise indoors. [0005] With reference to the FIG. 7, a conventional exercise device in accordance with the prior art comprises a frame (70), two handles (71), a backrest (72), a headrest (73), two rockers (76), a pivoting stand (77), a roller (78) and an elastic band (79). [0006] The frame (70) has a top end (not numbered), a bottom end (not numbered), a front (not numbered) and a back (not numbered). The handles (71) are mounted at the bottom end and extend perpendicular from the front of the frame (70). The backrest (72) is mounted on the front of the frame (70) and has a back (not numbered). The headrest (73) is mounted at the top end of the frame (70). The rockers (76) are mounted on the back of the backrest (72). The pivoting stand (77) is mounted on the back of the frame between the rockers (76) and has a distal end (not numbered). The roller (78) is rotatably mounted at the distal end of the pivoting stand (77). The elastic band (79) is mounted between the back of the frame (70) and the pivoting stand (77). [0007] With further reference to FIG. 8, a person uses the conventional exercise device by squatting on the floor, grasping the handles (71) and pivoting against the backrest (70). The user and the exercise device recline as the exercise device pivots on the rockers (76), extends the pivoting stand (77) and stretches the elastic band (79). When the user relaxes, the elastic band (79) pulls the pivoting stand (77) toward the backrest (72), and the person and the exercise device pivot to an upright position. [0008] However, the conventional exercise device only exercises a person's abdomen and will not fulfill the needs of people that need to exercise other parts of their body. Furthermore, squatting on the floor to use the conventional exercise device is very inconvenient. [0009] To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides an exercise device to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0010] The main objective of the invention is to provide an exercise device that can exercise different muscles of the human body and obviates the necessity to squat on the ground to use the exercise device. [0011] The exercise device in accordance with the present invention comprises a frame, a transverse support, a backrest assembly, a sliding stand assembly, a seat, a first elastic band, a second elastic band and two optional elastic cords. The transverse support is mounted on the frame. The backrest assembly is attached pivotally to the transverse support. The sliding stand assembly slides on the transverse support. The seat is mounted on the frame. The first elastic band is mounted between the transverse support and the backrest assembly. The second elastic band is mounted between the frame and the sliding stand assembly. [0012] Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0013] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an exercise device in accordance with the present invention; [0014] FIG. 2 is another perspective view of the exercise device in FIG. 1; [0015] FIG. 3 is a rear view of the exercise device in FIG. 1; [0016] FIG. 4 is an operational side view of the exercise device in FIG. 1 in use; [0017] FIG. 5 is another operational side view of the exercise device in FIG. 1 in use; [0018] FIG. 6 is another operational side view of the exercise device in FIG. 1 in use; [0019] FIG. 7 is an operational side view of a conventional exercise device in accordance with the prior art in use; and [0020] FIG. 8 is another operational side view of the conventional exercise device in FIG. 7 in use.
