Sports reviews of OSIM uGallop Complete Core Exerciser

Customer Review: Does the job
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

I broke my ankle the day the uGallop arrived; timely to say the least. I've been riding english for 15 years and was looking only for a core workout, not a horse substitute. Little did I know how useful the uGallop would be. I am off riding for at least 10 weeks and this machine will keep me muscle fit in ways that are important for staying in the saddle. Does it ride like a horse? Not at all. But it does keep my inner thighs, abs and back muscles toned as promised. There are some features I don't like about the uGallop: First, the saddle area is higher in the back (built like a quarter horse) rather than being level with the front and so the motion of the machine pushes you forward and this can make your back sore. Second, the stirrups are placed in an awkward and in my opinion, useless place. You can get a better workout without using them or if you are tall like me, just touching your toes to the floor. Finally, the controls work so that you can only "increase" or "stop". I actually put my own saddle on top of the uGallop, which added to the fun. Caution: Position carefully to keep the uGallop in balance or it starts to rock. Yahoo! Don't get bucked off.
