The limb support comprises an upright connecting cross bar of such a length that the cross bar is spaced from the floor sufficiently such that, in use, the legs of the user can rest on the cross bar when the user is positioned beneath the cross bar. The cross bar also being sufficiently spaced from the floor such that, in use, the limb support comprises a handgrip to enable a user to push down on the exercise apparatus so that the exercise apparatus supports at least some of the user's weight. The limb support comprises two outer concave regions that are relatively spaced along the longitudinal axis of the cross bar. The cross bar is provided with a third inner concave region in between the two outer concave regions.
