Whole Body Vibration (WBV) What the heck is it? Vibration platforms represent a global fitness revolution. In just over 30 minutes a week, you can keep in shape without leaving home. The effects of whole body vibration have already been scientifically tested, With early Vibration technology dating back to 1859, but it was the early days of the space race between USA and USSR that the Soviet Space Program found that vibration technology was a great way to combat decreased bone density in the astronauts. In the 1990’s the technology made its way to Europe, and began to make its way into the fitness market. Thanks to Whole Body Vibration (WBV) you can work all muscle groups, not only those aligned longitudinally. WBV works like a wake up call to the body, by stimulating the musculoskeletal structure, the vibration starts exciting the tissue cells via the “Stretch Reflex”. This creates an overall increase of blood circulation throughout the entire body, even in places that struggle to get blood. The immediate effect can be felt as the muscles are able to work faster and more efficiently, therefore creating a more productive workout. WHO IS USING WHOLE BODY VIBRATION? Everyone from celebrities, to professional sports teams (National Baseball League, National Football League), to professional athletes (Olympic Winners), to fitness buffs, to personal trainers, to Physical Rehabilitation centers and Individual Health Enthusiasts. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF WHOLE BODY VIBRATION? BETTER RESULTS IN LESS TIME Because the WBV works at such a fast pace, the muscle groups and stretch reflexes are able to train to their full potential and in a fraction of the time a normal workout would require. BOOSTS METABOLISM TO BURN FAT FASTER: Increased muscle contractions at a higher speed increase metabolic rate. INCREASES FLEXIBILITY AND CORE STRENGTH Consistent vibration encourages the body to rebalance itself, and stabilize the core muscles. ADVANCE MUSCLE STRENGTH TO HELP ELIMINATE FAT CELLS Just 10 minutes of WBV training can produce the same result as 150 leg presses with 3 times the body weight, twice a week for 5 weeks. DECREASE STRESS THROUGH HORMONE BALANCE Oxygen flowing to inactive parts of the musculoskeletal structure increases hormone flow. BREAK YOUR FITNESS PLATEAU WBV is consistently training muscles that you do not use on a daily basis, encouraging your body to also push to the next level. WHY SHOULD I USE WHOLE BODY VIBRATION? With solutions for all ages, lifestyles and physical abilities, WBV stimulates the body to create a reaction and response via vibration. These vibrations transmit waves of energy throughout the body, activating muscle contractions between 25 to 50 times per second, enhancing overall performance. Vibration training offers a host of benefits, ranging from an immediate improvement in blood circulation, to a variety of other measurable outcomes including increased muscle strength and flexibility and decreased cellulite. HOW DO I TARGET SPECIFIC MUSCLE GROUPS? You are easily able to target different muscle groups based on the position you choose with your vibration machine. For the V-Bell, raising your arms in a direct 90° angle will work your biceps. If you move into a squat position on the platform you are able to target your glutes, quads and overall core stability. The Ishape can offer an easy upper back-stretch by simply holding both hands onto a top bar. From Jason:   Well, first let me give you a link to Wikepedia to answer a lot of your questions.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_body_vibration Then let me say this.  I was the biggest skeptic in the world and then I started doing research.  Then I ordered one.  Let’s just say I am now a believer.  Below are some links to some studies.  You can go to google.com and type in Whole Body Vibration Research and read for days (I did). Finally, we now offer this type of training at both locations to our personal training clients.  We also sell them.  We are currently stocking a BH unit that retails for $1999.00, but if you call me I can give you a discount.  Plus we ship just about anywhere in the United States. Come see for yourself why I keep telling everyone... “This changes everything”. By the way the thing looks like a giant bathroom scale.  Can you blame me for being skeptical?
