There are so many of us want the easy way out. We want to fall in love, get rich, lose weight, and get a promotion. We want all of these by yesterday. We’d rather not wait to get those things that we need or want. And sometimes it is more than a bit unrealistic to want everything at this exact moment. However, sometimes it isn’t as unrealistic as we may think. Losing weight is one of those areas where we can cheat a little.
There is help for those who really want to be helped. It comes in the compact form of a vibration machine. Vladimir Nazarov, a Russian scientist, developed what we now know as whole-body vibration. He did this to improve cosmonauts’ bodies by decreasing muscle and bone loss.
The user’s entire body gets a workout when they stand on the vibrating platform. The user can perform exercises on the platform or they can just stand still for 20 or 30 minutes. Different vibrations have different effects on our bodies. This is why all machines vary in their effectiveness so it is very important to shop around and to test the machine before you buy it.
These machines use whole-body vibration technology to contract the user’s muscles between 30 and 50 times per second. This is a big departure from the old-fashioned but very popular belt exercisers that really just shifted skin around. The user’s muscles contract and they also lengthen because of the mechanical stimulation that gets generated in the body. This means that many more muscles are used in this way.
They user’s body gets shimmied in all directions while they’re on the vibration machine. The workout is supercharged and the frequency is high enough so that the user can cut their workout time in half. This is perfect for someone who has limited time to exercise.
Some of the more interesting effects the vibration has are on bone mineral density. People who are old, overweight, and in poor bodily condition would see the best results from this type of training. But even professional athletes can benefit by using a vibration platform machine.
This will soon be the preferred way to exercise, if not the future of exercise. Whole body vibration can now be found in your local gym as well as in weight loss clinics. Many sports professionals as well as celebrities use vibration therapy to keep their bodies in the best shape possible.
