Intelligent Horses in Your Gym...

(the iGallop Core and Abs Exerciser...amazing invention, will give you "flat abs, firm behind and toned thighs")

iGallop away..

Watch these 2 short commercials..Thats an order! AD1 AD2

One can only guess that the guys from OSIM had spiked drinks or smoked something that night when they came up with this incredibly hilarious brainchild. The mere imagination that someone would think of doing a daily exercise on this thing to get in shape cannot be meant seriously. Well, OSIM seems to be quite sure about the future success..the device and its imitations (yes, right) are virtually mushrooming around the city's countless shopping malls..Until recently, it was only available in Singapore and Hong Kong. I wonder what the special quality of this local target group might be, since they are supposed to really buy these things (only 599$ at amazon)...but IF this inventive kind of workout equipment will finally be accepted in gyms around town and sportif females start to perform their exercises this way, I am quite sure that it will have a rather nocturnal workout effect than a shapelier figure..

By the way, why must every fancy product name show off with an 'i' recently? Are the iInventors just iLazy? Don't they think that it is more or less iStupidity to chase after iPods, iMode and what is out there? What kind of intelligence can we expect from this funny, gamboling saddle? Will it simply know from my riding position and pulse how to shake me around appropriately to change my iMood to the better? Well, I am quite suspicous here..anybody who already tried this proud specimen of mankinds achievements, please share your experience..

(well...people with Chinese heritage love tea..no surprise here. Anyway, it was new to me to get this in a cinema with Popcorn. I had this nice 'Green Tea Combo' when we watched Ice Age 2 last week..one more thing that would probably not be available in many countries)
