Matsushita's virtual horseback riding machine

Matsushita Horseback Riding Fitness Device

Dude, forget those treadmills we bought last week to prevent our muscles from completely atrophying from being chained to our desks here at Engadget HQ — we're selling them all on eBay and picking up a fleet of these babies from Matushita to get our exercise on with. The $1,800 Horseback Riding Fitness Device is supposedly aimed toward people over 50, but we figure our circulation level is comparable so we're giving it a try anyway. It trains muscle "gently" and raises the overall metabolism. So they think this mechanical saddle is gentle, eh? Wait til our shipment arrives and we turn 'em up to 11!
