Too Busy For The Gym?

You can’t swing a mouse round the internet these days without hitting some fad or another claiming you can lose inches/pound etc with their latest fitness craze.It’s hard not to feel the pressure between news stories of skinny celebrities looking glam, and health professions warning of obesity pandemics.As tempting as it is to invest in one of these new weight lose programmes everyone knows they very rarely work.In the end common sense has to win.A healthy lifestyle can easily be achieved with regular exercise and a sensible diet.Although theres no quick fix, there are certain tools and ideas that can make this lifestyle choice easier on some people.

Whole body vibration is one of these solutions that you may find works for you.The concept was first examined about five decades ago by Russian scientists during the space race.By exposing the body to rapid vibrations, up to 60 per second, the muscle actually gets toned. Each of the vibrations from vibration trainingcauses the muscle to contract which in turn strengthens them.When you wear flip flops you toes automatically curl instinctively to stop it falling off, the muscles act in a similar way to vibration training.You cant help the muscle contraction as its a natural body reaction.Every muscle contracts dozens of times per second and thousands of times per minute. When compared to doing sit ups, using a vibration trainer for weight loss can be much more effective.Each sit up only works certain muscles and can take anything from a second to several minutes (depending on how unfit you are) just to do one.

 

The best solution would be to combine the two. Exercising whilst on a vibration trainer would have the best results. However, the science behind the theory suggests eating your tea on it or watching television on it should also have a positive effect. This means that a vibrating plateis the perfect exercise solution for anyone who finds the gym a bit of a slog.Vibration training will work best when done often and incorporated into your regular exercise routine.
