An exercise device is provided for strengthening the lower back of a user. The exercise device includes a base for being located on a supporting surface. An inclined surface is supported by the base for engaging the thighs of the user to support at an angle a portion of the body extending generally from the waist to the knees. The upper body of the user extends over a front edge of the inclined surface for exercising movement between a flexed position and an extended position. A stabilizer bar is connected to the exercise device for engaging and holding the legs of the user against the inclined surface when exercising.
