Shorten your Workout Time with Whole Body Vibration

The latest in fitness is to do your workout in as little amount of time as possible.  This seems very sensible.  And it would inspire those who don’t exercise now to find that they can exercise 10-15 minutes and get the benefits of a one hour workout.   This smart move doesn’t mean you are getting less of a workout.  It means you are using your time better.  You just need to use the right tools and routines. Circuit training is one way to accomplish more in less time.  Circuit training is doing 4-6 different exercises that reach different muscles without any rest time between exercises.  Most of these exercises are weight training but you may also do some running in place or jumping jacks in between.  Not only do you save time but studies have even shown you get a better workout.  

By adding Whole Body Vibration you get even more benefits.  Just stand on the vibrating platform and do your compound exercises.  The body automatically reacts to the vibrations, making your workout more effective.  It produces a stretch reflex, the tonic vibratory reflex, which, depending on the selected frequency, results in muscles gently contracting 6 to 50 times per second.  Vibration training is low impact and gentle, enabling anyone, regardless of their age or fitness levels to use it.  You can get the benefits of exercise without putting strain on joints or bones in a much shorter amount of time.

Compared with traditional training methods, WBV achieves the same physiologic results of exercise, just at a faster and more efficient rate!
