This saddle-like exercise machine is known in Japan as the Joba, named after the Japanese word for horseback riding. Users spend 30 minutes a day on the machine, swaying back and forth and from side to side, just like they are riding a horse. This core training exercise using a Horseback-simulation machines is one the hottest fitness trends in Japan. The exercise machine was changed from Joba to the Core trainer. Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. markets it under its Panasonic name. The Core training Joba workout doesn't take much effort. Some people profiled recently mentioned that they ride the Joba when they are feeling tired because they can get exercise just by sitting on it. The Pansonic saddle core training machine is designed to fit into a living room, as something that can easily be used while watching TV.
It may not seem like it, but the machine does provide a workout. Using it for about 15 minutes a day, three days a week tones muscles, improves posture and increases metabolism, according to studies by Matsushita and a handful of universities. Fitness experts determined that the Joba can help work a limited set of muscles, such as toning the middle area and thighs.
Riders work their abdomens to keep balance with their upper bodies, and strengthen their thighs by squeezing to maintain a grip on the horse. It is also low-impact, because users mostly sit and let their bodies react to the horse-like movements. A Joba workout burns 50 calories in 15 minutes. Better-toned muscles increase a person's metabolic rate. Because straddling a bucking saddle looks less than genteel, the device isn't always taken seriously at first sight. Club Northwest, a large sports club in Grants Pass, Ore., has two core trainers. The Panasonic Core Body trainers are known to be used by everyone from teenagers to men and women in their eighties.
History of the Panasonic Core Trainer
The Joba's roots go back 25 years, when Tetsuhiko Kimura, a Japanese doctor specializing in rehabilitation, went to Norway, and noticed that horseback riding was being used for physical therapy. Since Kimura treated patients with back problems, and thought it could be used as a preventive measure to help older patients with weak backs and legs. Many of them are too old for strenuous exercise, but need strength so they don't fall and hurt themselves. He also thought it would help people who experience back and shoulder pain from bad posture.
One problem with horseback riding as exercise in Japan: The country is mostly mountainous, and flat, habitable land near population centers is a precious commodity. There isn't much space for horses. So Kimura helped Matsushita create a device that simulates a horse's movements.
The Panasonic Core Trainer looks like the seat of a saddle, and has a plastic handle in front to grip for balance. Stirrups also help keep balance while working the legs. The machine then pitches and rolls, moving in a figure-eight pattern. Panasonic has added several menu options to allow a general workout, or focus on waist and hips, and users can set their own speed on a one-to-nine scale. Panasonic produced a DVD that teaches Jobabics exercises – upper-body twists and arm workouts such as pumping and swinging – that increase the effectiveness of the exercise.
On the motorcycle, some users of the Joba had no problems riding 200 kilometers a day, even though being in their early 60s. They credit this to Joba training. One user claims it keeps him strong, so he can ride his motorcycle and have a nightcap at the same time.
