Claims: 1. In an amusement and exercise air bag for one or more players, the improvement comprising: a rounded air bag body having generally planar upper and lower surfaces; bellows structure, the bellows structure having pneumatic connection with the air bag body at the upper central portion of the air bag body, comprising the bellows structure being generally inverted-cup-shaped with the lower periphery having sealing connection at an opening in the air bag body for unrestricted passage of air between the bellows structure and the air bag body; the bellows structure being upwardly distendable from the air bag body upon compression of the air bag body for upwardly projecting a player resting thereon and having associated therewith resilient bellows-retractive structure, the bellows structure having relatively rigid top structure larger in diameter than said lower periphery for preventing the rigid top structure from being pressed below the air bag upper surface, and the air bag body extending as a safety margin around the bellows structure.
