In: Whole Body Vibration

 Whole Body Vibration is sweeping across the USA from Europe and is now commonly used by doctors and physicians to treat patients.  Vibration machines are now becoming the world’s top trainer’s key training tool. 

Whole Body Vibration (WBV) technology originated in Europe and has been an evolving technology for the past 50 years. Sweden, Italy, Germany, and Russia have contributed immensely to the progression of WBV research and development for the purposes of fitness and rehabilitation. Many scientific research studies have been performed which validate the benefits of WBV with respect to bone density and fighting osteoporosis, increased blood circulation, more efficient muscle toning, and much more.

The NutriMedical Report hosted by Dr. William Deagle nationwide investigated and discussed the groundbreaking health and fitness phenomena known as the “Vibration Fitness Machine”. Dr. Deagle for the past 12 months been testing and researching the effects of vibration exercise for fitness and health. He reported his findings stating that his research and the many published medical reports from doctors, universities and medical centers confirm that vibration fitness exercise has many benefits including: weight-loss, rapid muscle strength growth, increased bone density, Higher HGH levels, pain reduction and greatly improved balance just to name a few. He also quoted a study from the European Congress on Obesity that was recently released which found that whole body vibration was four times as effective as traditional workouts for weight loss.

“The Doctors” TV segment airing February 26 demonstrates how vibration exercise can replicate a 60 minute treadmill workout in 10 minutes. Whole body vibration machines cause the muscles to contract and stretch – just like regular exercise does. Other benefits include: total muscle toning, accelerated weight loss, cellulite reduction, stress reduction, increased flexibility and faster metabolism.

On February 12, “The Tyra Banks Show” demonstrated vibration technology and was part of “The Tyra Banks Show” special “Beauty Across America” showcasing the latest fitness, health and beauty techniques that work. Many professional sports teams including Olympic, NFL, NHL, MLB and NBA teams have adopted the vibration fitness machines into daily training programs. This has really given the industry a boost of interest and given consumers the confidence to try Whole Body Vibration.

Regardless of your physical condition, the subconscious stretch reflexes will tighten almost all your muscles at once with vibration exercise. That compares with just 45 per cent of muscle fibers used during conventional training. Traditional training increases muscle strength because your body reacts to the extra resistance created by the weights over and above regular gravity. With Vibration Training your body reacts to acceleration rather than extra weight, which is many times greater than standard training stimuli. And this is happening 20-50 times a second.

High end health clubs, professional sports teams, and prestigious medical facilities have been using WBV in the US for years, but a quality and affordable WBV solution for home use has not been available until now.
