Panasonic is rather known for its electronic devices, whose quality sets standards in the industry, but it seems that the company decided to try something new too, namely producing exercise equipment. Although they haven't come up with more than two devices yet, their emergence on this segment of the market seems to be quite promising.



Thus, the Core Muscle Trainer II comes with a LCD display, improved ergonomic seat design and effective exercising programs. It definitely adds a whole new dimension to your workout, by integrating up, down, forward and backward movements with side-to-side and twisting, to create a unique figure-eight motion. The proven results show greater core muscle-building benefits, and an effective, low-impact, strength-training workout in just 15 minutes a day. It's like horseback riding, just without a horse.



Thanks to the LCD display, users will be able to keep track of their workouts, by showing calories burnt and the muscles activated during a workout session, in addition to the exercise program time remaining.



The Core Muscle Trainer II offers 7 pre-programs plus a Manual mode, which include twisting movements, increasing activity in ab muscles, up/down movements, increasing activity in abs and thighs, forward/backward movements, increased on abs and lower back muscles, and sliding/rolling movements, increased on abs, obliques and thighs.



Very easy to use and to control, even by beginners, the Core Muscle Trainer II also sports a compact size and a stylish design, so that you can place it anywhere in your home. It's especially effective for those with exercise limitations such as difficulty tolerating pressure or stress on joints, requirement to maintain heart rate below a target level, or with limited aerobic capacity. This exercising equipment from Panasonic won't come cheap though, as it retails for approximately $1,800.
