description Disclosed is a base, consisting of two identical plates, with a handle attached in the middle by two bolts to stabilize the base. Two extension assemblies consisting of two round tubes, one inside the other, are attached to each end of the base by one bolt each. The inner tubes have holes drilled one inch apart for adjusting the length by moving a pin either in one side or the other. The inner tubes telescope and can turn 360 degrees. This allows the handle to be pulled toward the operator and raised to a perpendicular position, to hold the apparatus at any adjustment level, in the fully extended position. Each adjustment level moves the legs apart by one inch at a time, after reaching the desired starting position. Attached to the outer ends of the adjustment tubes, are "U" shaped stirrups, on an angle, so they rest against the ankles and not cause any extreme pressure against the tops of the feet, when in the fully extended position. The apparatus can be controlled with only a pressure from one hand while in the "HOLD" position. Other stretching exercises can be done for the back and side muscles, as well as for the legs, while in this position.
