New Whole-body Vibration Exercise Craze hits Hollywood

Whole-body Vibration Craze has hit North America and is shaking things up. Vibration training which originated in Europe has been gaining momentum and being integrated into daily routines by top universities, NFL teams, medical centers, gyms and celebrities alike. A gaggle of celebrities and models - such as Madonna, Jessica Alba, Claudia Schiffer, Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Heidi Klum have been known to be users. Ever since Madonna admitted to using it sales have skyrocketed around the globe.

Vibration exercise training is looking to be the next big thing in fitness. With the average price for a Vibration Machine between $5500 - $13,000, it is a little pricey for the average consumer. But one company has developed a new product that might break the US market. VibraSlim has produced a machine and made it available for $1699, thousands cheaper than their competitors.

Vibration exercise technology allows you to burn fat and cellulite, increases Human Growth Hormone, increases muscle strength, increase metabolism, builds bone density, and improves flexibility. With the USA facing record obesity rates this company may have what consumers are looking for.

History of Whole Body Vibration

Vibration Exercise technology is supported by decades of scientific research, originating with the Soviet Space Program, which pioneered the technology now applied in the fields of health and fitness. Russian scientists discovered that cosmonauts that spent extended amounts of time in space experienced significant loss in bone density and muscle tissue due to the lack of gravity. Russian researchers were led to experiment with Vibration Exercise technology, finding that by using this equipment they could not only stopped the loss, but amazingly increase bone density and strengthen muscle tissue.

Using Vibration Exercise technology the Russians were able to set a record of more than 420 days in outer space. Our American astronauts, training on conventional fitness equipment, were forced to return after just 120 days due to bone and muscle degeneration. It wasn’t until after the fall of the Iron Curtain, that Vibration Exercise technology found its way to other countries. Today NASA fully embraces Vibration Exercise technology with much success.
