 If you thought the JOBA Horse-Riding Fitness Equipment was a disturbing piece of fitness equipment, then you haven't seen Brookstone's OSIM iGallop. The iGallop, yet another horse-riding fitness machine, helps shape and tone your body through balancing at three different random speeds.
Choose from three fitness levels:
- Trot: to warm up
- Gallop: for extended toning and shaping
- Race: to really get those muscles toned
And just like the JOBA, you can use it while watching TV. Buy one for your friends, and you can gallop together!
Click here to see a bunch of cowgirls thrust back and forth on the iGallop.
Ride the iGallop for $599.

I'm....so not touching this one. (bwah! I think I inadvertantly did!)

Um, did I mention that I offer more than three random speeds? ;-D

this is very wierd, I prefer my horse a thousand times more... he walks, trots, canters, gallops, and he even bucks and rears so you can improve balance and strenght satisfaction garanted, warning bucking and rearing may includ sudden pain and a mouth full of dirt... haha just made a comercial about my horse.

Just rode this iGallop in the mall and I loved every minute of it! I want one, but the $500 price tag is a bit steep. Only a fraction of the price of the panasonic JOBA though - although I haven't taken that one for a ride.

My friend, a personal trainer, and I tried the iGallop today. She loved it and is going to get one. I plan on getting one too. It's awesome ane REALLY works!

As an equestrian and a personal trainer, I have some pretty severe conflictions about this one. First off, look at the position that she's in. FETAL POSITION! Isn't that what we spend countless hours and training dollars learning how NOT to do?? The major word within the strength and conditioning world is SPECIFICITY. You will get stronger in the range of motion that you use in training, and you will "play the way you train" , or in this case, ride the way you train. If you use this as a tool for sport-specific equestrian fitness, from what I can tell, it may hinder more than help.
