A core muscle exercising apparatus has a support platform that is held off the ground in an operative position by opposed front support legs and opposed rear support legs. A front support leg on one side of the apparatus is pivotally secured to a rear support leg on that same side, and a front support leg on the other side of the apparatus is pivotally secured to the rear support leg on that side. In the operative position, the front support legs hold the support platform in an operative position, generally parallel to a ground surface on which the front and rear support legs stand. In a storable position, the front support legs are pivoted relative to the rear support legs on their respective pivot assemblies, and the support platform further pivots toward the front support legs to provide the apparatus in a collapsed, readily storable position.

Process for applying multi-layer extrusion coatings to substrate at low temperature is described, employing as one extrusion coating layer a defined polyethylene-containing component, and, as the second extrusion coating layer at least one second extrudable polymeric composition. Also provided are novel extrusion coated articles comprising substrate having coated thereon defined polyethylene-containing component and at least one other extrudable polymeric composition. These articles display good adhesion of extrusion coating material to the substrate without the degradation of the extrudable coatings caused by exposure to excessive levels of heat as is required for successful extrusion coating employing prior art materials.
