Could not.

In the exercise equipment described in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 30-51961, two legs are respectively attached to the lower ends of both ends of a bench seat body which is a flat plate, so that abdominal muscle exercise or exercise using dumbbells is performed. Can be performed effectively, but the main body is relatively large, it is difficult to transport, and storage requires a relatively large storage space.

Further, in the abdominal muscle bed described in Japanese Utility Model Application No. Sho 54-126079, since a plurality of divided mats are housed in frame members, the mats are folded, stored or transported when not in use. Although it is convenient to handle, it can not be used as other things such as cushions because the frame member is exposed when the mat is folded,
There was a problem that a storage space was required.

Accordingly, the present invention allows the dumbbell to be lowered to a sufficiently deep position when performing abdominal exercises or lying down on the back and performing exercises using the dumbbells, which not only enables effective exercise but also impairs exercise. When used, it can be folded, divided, or stacked and used as a cushion, and the object is that storage space is not required.
