What are the Benefits of Vibration Fitness?

Benefits of Vibration Exercising

For Muscles

With WBV you can expect similar strength gains to conventional resistance gym training in a fraction of the time. Scientific studies have proven these rapid strength gains. A 10 minute Vibration Exercise workout will give similar benefits to a 1 hour gym session!

For Accelerated Weight Loss

The way we look, feel, and function all relies on strong muscles. Even at rest our muscles burn calories at a rate based on our metabolism. The more lean muscle mass we have - the more calories we burn! Vibration Training can give a sluggish metabolism just the boost it needs …up to an 18% increase from 10 minute sessions, just 3 times a week over 6 weeks. (Bonner Physical Therapy, 2003). So even when relaxing you’ll be burning considerably more calories with Vibration Training! Combined with a cardio workout, you have the complete package – firming and toning and optimum weight loss! (also refer to “Firming and Toning” to follow)

vibrating For Firming & Toning

Lost a lot of weight? Then you’ll know how difficult it is to maintain muscle tone. The fact is… weight loss does not discriminate between fat and muscle. So if you lose 10 lbs/kgs of fat you may lose 1 lb/kg of muscle - and lean muscle is very hard to replace. The only way to preserve muscle is through resistance exercise. And with vibrating plates this can be accomplished far more efficiently than conventional weight training in the gym.

For Beauty

What woman wouldn’t appreciate a beauty treatment 3-5 times a week! Using the machine you will improve circulation, carry vital oxygen to your cells and tissues, assist in flushing toxins, while increasing your production of collagen. This will result in firmer, smoother skin, with a significant reduction in cellulite! Research shows that with just 3 sessions a week (11 hours total over 24 weeks) it’s possible to reduce cellulite on your thighs and buttocks by a massive 25.7%! (Sanaderm. Anti Cellulite Untersuchung, 2003) and when you combine Vibration Training with cardio exercise it’s been shown that a cellulite reduction of 32% can be achieved. Just see these results!

For Bones

Strong bones are what keep us young! Extensive studies show that after 39 years of age, women have a rate of bone loss double the rate of men! Post-menopausal women are most affected, so this is serious stuff. Resistance training, i.e. what we’re told to do at the gym or at home with resistance bands and weights, shows no benefit to improving bone density. But the exciting news is that Vibrating Fitness can provide excellent results and with little effort. This is according to the ground breaking study reported in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research in 2006.

For Anti-Ageing

Gentle Vibration Exercise can prevent age-related muscle loss, increase flexibility and range of motion. It also stimulates the production of collagen, creating tighter, more beautiful skin. It’s all possible! The fact that scientific research has shown Vibration Exercise can help fight Osteoporosis is exciting (refer to “For Bones” above). So for older generations this could well be the most important discovery in decades.

Vibration Fitness For Circulation

Increased blood circulation is a notable benefit of Vibration, even at low speeds. As a result, your cells receive more oxygen and nourishment. The body also develops better lymphatic drainage to improve our overall health and immunity. It does this by taking away waste products and moving white blood cells to where they are needed. White blood cells are like the 'cavalry' of the body – removing debris from broken down cells and attacking invading agents, such as poisons and bacteria

For Massage

More than just an exercise and rehabilitation machine, the VT-7 offers the luxury of whole body massage and relaxation. Massage also benefits overall health and has been shown to improve physical performance, prevent and eliminate injuries, reduce stress, improve circulation and assist in flushing toxins!

Vibrating Training For Rehabilitation

Whole body vibration can prevent injuries, but just as important, it can help in the rehabilitation process.– having an ability to strengthen muscles without the usual strain on joints and ligaments. The process of rehabilitation involves an increase in blood flow causing a dramatic spike in Human Growth Hormone (HGH) - the key to the repair and regeneration of soft tissue. While improved circulation also helps to drain fluid build-up from injured tissue, Vibration stimulates a combined release of hormones and natural chemicals to suppress pain. Used for rehab, this really is a “wonder therapy".
