The benefits of cross-training
25 Jan 2012Just as a diverse diet provides vitamins and minerals, a complete exercise program should consist of varied activities to work every part of your body – in other words, cross-training. Cross-training means that you incorporate a variety of activities into your exercise routine. It’s a way to broaden your activities and work different muscles. Cross-training [...]
Benefits of Pivotal Vibration
5 Jan 2012The PowerVibe Motion 1 is an example of a quality, pivotal (or oscillating) whole body vibration product. There are 2 main types of WBV – vertical (also called vertical tri-planar or lineal), and pivotal (also called oscillating or teeter-totter). While both offer a number of the same general benefits, such as increased circulation and muscle [...]

Adding WBV into a training program
14 Oct 2011As with all training programs, trainers must consider the frequency, duration, volume and selection of the exercises, to name but a few training/loading parameters. Remember, Force = Mass x Acceleration. Commonly, most resistance exercises use mass as the primary means of force production; WBV uses force and acceleration.

Whole Body Vibration Treatment for Back Pain
24 Jun 2011When you’re on your feet all day or just sitting at a desk, back pain can be debilitating and affects millions! PowerVibe WBV equipment immediately activates those “key” stabilizing muscles at the body’s core- when weak; they’re the trigger for back problems.

Whole Body Vibration can be used to increase range of motion through stimulation of the Golgi Tendon Organ (GTO). The GTO monitors tension in the muscular system. Trainers manipulate the GTO during static stretching by creating increased tension that the GTO picks up then signals the muscle to relax. The GTO also creates relaxation in [...]
Improve Body Alignment with Whole Body Vibration
27 May 2011As we age, our posture deteriorates. The legs and lower back are not just responsible for bearing most of the body’s weight anymore, but now also have to keep the torso from tipping over the hips. The hips and lower back become stronger initially, but in time the lower abdominals become weaker from lack of use. But [...]
Risks of Excess Belly Fat
5 Apr 2011It has long been recognized that people who carry their excess weight around their middles — those who are apple-shaped instead of pear-shaped — have a higher risk for heart attacks and strokes. Abdominal fat may produce substances that contribute to inflammation throughout the body. This is linked to a higher risk of disease. And, [...]
