Foot contacts follow an arcuate curve path positioned above the recumbent operator. Resistance is provided for each foot contact where the abdominal muscles of the operator pull the lower leg contact towards the operator. Handles are provided to support the arms of the operator. A situp assist device can be used in conjunction with leg pull to exercise the upper abdominals. A leg curl feature is added to the apparatus to allow leg curls. Weight stack resistance is also available.
