Joba Core Muscle Trainer rocks

Joba Core Muscle Trainer rocks
It is the final furlong, and both riders are urging on their horses as hard as possible in order to obtain victory in this year's Melbourne Cup - will it be Osim's iGallop or will Hammacher's Joba Core Muscle Trainer capture top position? Back to reality, the latter is a low-impact mechanical exerciser that targets specific muscle groups without causing any pressure or stress on joints. Each exercise routine takes around 20 minutes to complete as the saddle tilts back and forth, left and right in pre-programmed sequences. Choose from three exercise patterns and nine different speeds for your horse-riding pleasure. At $1,999, it costs nearly four times as much as the iGallop. Maybe the foot straps cost an additional grand to install during manufacturing. ( Add a comment, Search on eBay)

The Joba (renamed to the Panasonic Core Trainer) has been touted as a method to relieve constipation, a balance training device, and now a core trainer. The only verifiable research was performed on only 9 subjects (see below).

Test participants: 9 people ages 60-71 of average health (3 men, 6 women. Conditions: 15 minutes/day, 3 times/week for a month and a half. Maximum muscle strength was measured before & after. Test location: Kochi Medical School.
According to research at Aichi Gakuin University in Japan.

The ads tend to claim benefits that have not met the American standards for use.

In addition, the company is still making revisions to the design indicating problems do still exist which may aggravate medical conditions in the many populations they proport to help (especially those with back injuries, degenerative neuromuscular disease, and children).

BUYER BEWARE...and get the published evidence from peer reviewed medical journals before accepting these claims!

iGallop does not have a patent in the United States.

Joba's patent was issued in 2006 long after US patent 6,616,456 from 2003. Several key concepts described in the 2003 US patent are now marketed for the JOBA

Neither the JOBA or the iGallop were developed by therapists or people who use and understand therapeutic riding and hippotherapy.
