providing an exercise machine base on a horizontal support surface, the exercise machine having a continuous belt pulled taut between at least two rollers, the exercise machine having a resistance member pivotably coupled to the base and positionable between a deployed position wherein the resistance member is disposed above a torso of the person to place a downward force on the torso of the person and a retracted position to allow the person to stand up after exercising;
placing feet of the person on the continuous belt;
laying down above the support surface with an upper back of the person parallel to and above the support surface while placing the feet of the person on the continuous belt;
moving the resistance member from the retracted position to the deployed position so that the resistance member places the downward force on the torso of the person;
moving the continuous belt using feet of the person while laying down above the support surface to exercise buttock muscles of the person;
maintaining a minimum distance between the support surface and the buttock muscles of the person while moving the continuous belt using the feet of the person; and
