A portable and collapsible aquatic abdominal exercising apparatus for use in a pool is provided. The apparatus includes first and second downwardly extending parallel leg members, first and second arm-rest extensions and first and second pool-deck supports. Each of these elements can be provided with telescopic capabilities. A single support rod extends between the two leg members and additionally supports a back-rest. A pair of four-way coupling units work to attach all of the elements together. The legs can move freely along two axis adding to its portability and collapsibility. The device sits freely in a pool and supports the weight of a user as the user rests their back against the back-rest, positions their forearms on the arm-rest extensions, grasps a pair of hand grips and repetitively moves their body upwardly to strengthen the abdominal muscles.

[ Having thus described the invention, what is claimed and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:] [1.] A portable and collapsible aquatic abdominal muscle exercising apparatus for use in a pool, the apparatus having a portion submerged below the water surface of the pool, the apparatus comprising:a) a pair of parallel leg members, each having a downwardly extending middle portion and an upper and lower curved end, both ends inwardly disposed at identical right angles from the middle portion, each upper end having a pool deck-resting support attached thereto, and each lower end having a foot member attached thereto,b) a pair of four-way coupling units each having four openings formed therein, a first and second opening of each coupling unit axially aligned providing a Y axis, a third opening of each coupling unit positioned at a right angle from its associated first and second opening forming an X axis such that each third opening of each coupling unit face one another and are axially aligned along the X axis, and a fourth opening of each coupling unit positioned at a different right angle from that of the first and second openings and that of the third opening providing a Z axis,c) a pair of leg couplers, each inserted through one of the coupling unit first and second openings, the pair of leg couplers receiving the pair of legs and permitting the legs to move freely along the Y axis and inwardly towards the X axis,d) a single support rod mounted between the pair of coupling unit third openings along the X axis,e) a back-rest support mounted on the support rod, andf) a pair of arm-rest extensions, each removably attached along its associated Z axis in the coupling unit fourth opening.
