An exercise machine that facilitates exercises for a user's abdominal area, inner and outer thigh areas, upper body, and back areas includes a frame and a plurality of height adjustable legs which allow a user to selectively provide a comfortable height or inclined surface for personal exercise. The apparatus further includes a movable sliding platform assembly providing adjustable resistance. A pair of knee pads is pivotally affixed to the movable platform assembly and allows independent motioning in respective arcuate paths to exercise the user's oblique muscles. When the knee pads are motioned separately, the apparatus exercises the user's inner thigh, outer thigh, and stomach muscles. Additionally, the movable features of the apparatus enable a user to exercise various other specific body areas.
