Default Igallop

There's a new exercise machine called the "Igallop." Brookstone is selling it for $399. It's suppose to be like riding a horse & it's suppose to work on your abs/core. I was wondering if anyone has it or has tried it. It looks neat, but I'm not sure if it's $400.00 neat.

I actually tried this in the store and thought it was the stupidest thing ever created. Working our your abs/core is pretty simple with exercises like pilates as well as crunches. I'd say save your money.

My gym has something similar to this, but it's made by Panasonic and it's $2000. Same idea of working the core. I haven't noticed a difference at all and I'd really be hesitant to spend that much money on something you can do for free or with a less expensive exercise ball.
