1. An exercise device, which comprises: a) a flexible base member that is removably positionable between a seat and body of a user, said base member having opposed surfaces and being symmetrically configured about a generally central axis, and having opposed tapered sides such that one end is greater in dimension than the other, the longer side having generally arcuate corners and the shorter side having generally obtuse corners,said base member having surface dimensions sufficient to extend at least substantially over the entire buttock area of the user,whereby during use, the configuration and dimension of the base member provides substantially full immovable contact with substantially the entire buttock area of the user on one surface and with the seat on the other surface without need for fasteners,said base member being made of a material which is foldable, yet of sufficient strength to withstand tensile and shear forces;b) a plurality of apertures located inwardly of respective peripheral edges of said base member to facilitate attachment of resilient resistance members for exercise purposes; andc) at least one resilient resistance member being attachable to said base member through a select one or more of said apertures so as to extend generally outwardly from said base member, each said resistance member having an attachment end and a free end, each said resistance member having a gripping device attached to the free end thereof to facilitate exercise movements by the user,whereby a user may position said base member between a selected portion of the body of the user and the seat to provide firm and immovable contact therebetween and to thereby grip and extend selective ones of said resistance members against their natural resistance for exercise purposes, said flexible member further being capable of being folded, crumpled and rolled for portability and ease of storage. 2. The exercise device as in claim 1, wherein said flexible base member comprises a centrally disposed cushion, and at least one periphery edge margin dimensioned for said plurality of apertures. 3. The exercise device as in claim 1, wherein said flexible base member comprises a centrally disposed pocket for removably supporting a pillow or cushion, and at least one periphery edge margin dimensioned for said one or more attachment points. 4. The exercise device as in claim 1, wherein each said aperture is reinforced to form an attachment point for each said resilient member. 5. The exercise device as in claim 4, wherein each said reinforced aperture includes a grommet. 6. The exercise device as in claim 1, wherein the attachment end of the resistance member comprises a hook, a loop, an eyelet, a ball, or a knot. 7. The exercise device as in claim 1, wherein each said resistance member comprises a bungee cord, a silicone resistance tube, a rubber resistance tube, a silicone cord, or a rubber cord. 8. The exercise device as in claim 7, wherein each attachment end of each said resistance member comprises a rope thimble having a concave groove within which said resistance member is seated, said resistance member being attached to itself at a back end of said rope thimble and seized. 9. The exercise device as in claim 7, wherein said attachment end of each said resistance member comprises a rope thimble including a cam lever arm, wherein the terminal end of said resistance member passes under a pivot point of a cam lever arm and the overall length of said resistance member is adjustable. 10. The exercise device as in claim 1, wherein said attachment end of the resistance member comprises an eyelet secured to a terminal end of the resistance member through a sleeve of the eyelet. 11. The exercise device as in claim 1, wherein the attachment end of the resistance member comprises an eyelet structure secured to a terminal end of the resistance member through an aperture on an end of the eyelet structure with a twist lock ball skewer member. 12. The exercise device as in claim 1, wherein a pair of handle portions are provided, each said handle portion extending from each said symmetrical side about said generally central axis. 13. The exercise device as in claim 1, wherein one symmetrical side includes at least one loop fastener portion, and the other symmetrical side includes at least one hook fastener at a position complementary to the position of the loop fastener. 14. The exercise device as in claim 1, wherein each said resistance member comprises a spring. 15. An exercise device, which comprises: a) a flexible base member that is removably positionable between a seat and body of a user, said base member having opposed surfaces and being symmetrically configured about a generally central axis, and having opposed tapered sides such that one end is greater in dimension than the other, the longer side having generally arcuate corners and the shorter side having generally obtuse corners,said base member having surface dimensions sufficient to extend at least substantially over the entire buttock area of the user,whereby during use, the configuration and dimension of the base member provides substantially full immovable contact with substantially the entire buttock area of the user on one surface and with the seat on the other surface without need for fasteners,said base member being made of a material which is foldable, yet of sufficient strength to withstand tensile and shear forces;b) a plurality of reinforced apertures located inwardly of respective peripheral edges of said base member to facilitate attachment of a select number of resilient resistance members for exercise purposes; andc) said resilient resistance members being attachable to said base member through a select one or more of said apertures so as to extend generally outwardly from said base member, each said resistance member having a gripping device attached to a free end thereof to facilitate exercise movements by the user,whereby a user may position said base member between a selected portion of the body of the user and the seat with said end of greater dimension adjacent a select portion of the body corresponding as closely as possible to said end, to provide firm and immovable contact therebetween and to thereby grip and extend selective ones of said resistance members against their natural resistance and the resistance of said base member for exercise purposes, said flexible member further being capable of being folded, crumpled and rolled for portability and ease of storage.
