I claim: K Y l. Gymnastic apparatus comprising a substantially horizontal carriage Vmounted for movement inl a linear direction and of a fc5 Y cunibent position,
length sufficient to afford support to the back and shoulders of the userwhen in resaid carriage being mounted for movement in a linear direction, an abutment positioned toward one end of the upper surface of the carriage and projecting therefrom sufficiently to engage against the shoulders of the user and resistance ,means arranged 'between said carriage and a Vfixed point and acting to oppose movement of said carriage. y
2. Gymnasltic apparatus comprising a substantially horizontal carriage of a length suicient `to afford support to the back and shoulders of theuser when in recumbent position, said carriage being mounted, for
movement in'a linear direction, anti-friction means Varranged Vbetween said carriage and the surface on which said carriage rests, an abutment positioned toward one end of the upper surface of the carriage and projecting therefrom sufficiently to engage against the shoulders ofthe-user and resistance means arrangedy between said carriage'and a fixed point and acting to oppose movement of said carriage. f
3. Gymnastic apparatus comprising a car riage or support of 'a length sufficient to afford support tothe back and shoulders of the user when in' recumbent position said carriage being mounted formovement in a linear direction, a track or runway acting to guide said carriage in its linear movement,
an abutment positioned toward one end ofv theV upper surface of the carriage and projecting therefrom` sufficiently to engage against the shoulders of the user and v resist-ance means.v arranged between said carriage and a fixed point and acting to oppose movement of said carriage. f
4. Gymnastic apparatus comprising a carriage or support of `a length suicient to afford support to the back and shoulders of the `uscr when in recumbent position said carriage being mounted for movement inv a linear direction, and resistance means arranged between said carriage and a fixed ooint and acting to o aose movement of a Pl said carriage, an abutment positioned toward one end of the upper surface of the carriage and projecting therefrom sufficiently to engage against the shoulders of the user, and a foot rest or abutment against which the user may exert pressure by straightening his legsfrom a bent position thereby moving 'said carriage away from said abutment. Y
5. vGymnastic apparatus as claimed in Claim 5, in which said abutment is of such a width that the user can bear against the abutment'with the middle portion only of the foot, or of the toe or heel only.
6. Gymnastic apparatus comprising a earriage or support of a length sufficient to afford support to the back and shoulders of the user when in recumbent position ksaid carriage being mounted for movement in a linear direction, and resistance means Var# ranged between said carriage anda fiXed pointV 'and acting to oppose movementof said carriage, an` abutment positioned toward one end of the upper surfaceV of the said abutment.
