Start Vibrating

Many of you will have heard of the amazing new vibrating exercise machine that is used by celebrities to keep their bodies trim and in shape for their public appearances.

Madonna, Clint Eastwood, Heidi Klum and Jane Fonda are just a few of the celebs that regularly exercise with these new vibration training machines.

In fact, I have used one and can’t keep away from it. I have put it on my shopping list as a must have – and quick!

Any machine that promises to do all of the following is heaven sent.

Reduce cellulite by loosening the agglutinations, which results in better skin appearance.
Increase flexibility making the body more supple
Increase circulation thereby pumping the blood around the body faster, which in turn speeds up waste elimination
Helps the body with co-ordination and balance
Strengthens muscles
Helps reduce tiredness in legs

How it works

This type of exercise machine essentially consists of a controlled horizontal plate a few inches above ground level that vibrates in such a way as to create instability in the body. Attached to the plate are supports for the hands and a control panel.

The vibrations activate the muscles in the body to contract between 25 – 50 times per second.

By applying acceleration to the body, strength stability and power can be improved.

Basic exercises to be performed on the machine are squats, lunges, press-ups and stretches.

These powerful vibrations, according to one well known manufacturer, claims to give the same results in 10 minutes as a 60 minutes conventional exercise work out.

The cost

Vibrating plate exercise machines do not come cheap if you are going to buy the best.

However, not all purse strings reach that far so a little shopping for a bargain seems to be a good way to acquire this wonder piece of exercise equipment.
