Abstract

An exercise device is configured to partially support the weight of a user who leans on the device, wherein the device may be tilted at various angles during physical workouts and exercise. In one embodiment, the present invention includes a main body member having a spherical base, a hollow shaft, and a telescoping member slidably engaged with the hollow shaft, the telescoping member having an upper surface that preferably includes a cushion or padding. The spherical base allows the device to tilt at any desired angle, so that a person may use the device like a kickstand while performing various exercises, particularly including arm and shoulder exercises, and the like.
