Abdominizer The Abdominizer (often spelled Abdomenizer) was an abdominal exerciser invented in 1984 by Canadian chiropractor Dennis Colonello and marketed through infomercials〔(What's what: Design expert Oliver Bennett selects objects that he finds inspirational - and those that are simply a waste of space ), The Guardian, 2005〕 by the Fitness Quest corporation of Canton, Ohio, selling around six million. ==Product== It was an almost flat, saddle-like piece of thermoformed plastic, about 2 by 3 feet, with handles and a depression for the tailbone. The product was designed to protect the lower back during sit-ups. Colonello said in an interview in 2014 that the aim was to help people such as farmers consulting his practice in Ontario to do some exercise to develop core strength. He made one prototype and tested the product in his clinical practice before being approached to market the product.〔 Many people used them as snow sleds, and a warning label was affixed advising against this use.〔
