Vibration Training

Vibrating PlatformWhat I like about this handy, simple and effective gizmo, the Health Mark VF8 Platform whole-body vibration therapy machine is its the compact size and storage ability.  Obviously its not so light to travel with, but its ideal for the home or office … as you can place it wherever the mood takes you and just start your ‘work-out’.  Meanwhile all your friends and colleagues are getting their gym kit together and stressing about paying for a membership they are not taking full (if any) advantage of.

Health Mark VF81003 Osci Stadium Whole Body Vibration Therapy MachineGoing by the great name of the ‘Vibrating Plate Machines’ is due to the fact that you get a full body workout with so little impact, in either time or energy … its so 21st century. And of course some of us haven’t yet grasped how easy exercising can be now (if we embrace it) or perhaps we find it difficult to believe that ‘it does what it says on the tin’ …

After all it goes against everything we’ve been taught about keeping fit and how hard it is to burn off the calories, etc, so we’re expect exercise to be ‘hard work’ and good health to be something we chase.  This new information may seem contrary and ‘wrong’.  But of course that’s what they said to Christopher Columbus when he said ‘the world was round’ … Ah!  Yet another break-through to challenge our 20th-century thinking …

Exercise the lazy way …

Vibrating Plate Machine

Has everyone heard of the Vibrating Plate Machine or similar … Its a form of exercising that is fairly new, amazingly quick and simple, over-riding the need for a gym membership (if that tickles your fancy) it certainly does mine.

It was recommended to me around 18-mths ago by the bio-energy healer Seka Nikolic (who featured in one of Paul McKenna’s TV programs) when I visited her for a course of treatment. And her thinking falls in line with many great Yoga teachers that adhere to the ‘less is more’ philosophy by stopping at the point of your resistance in every pose …

crazy fit mass body vibe plate ex machine 41r4fxyrhvl aa280  Exercise the lazy way ...The story goes that this piece of kit was developed by the Russian space program when cosmonauts, at zero gravity, experienced loss of muscle tone and with prolonged stays in space it sometimes led to loss in bone density.

Hence the vibrational exercise equipment was born and now its in common usage. Over the last year most gyms in the UK have installed at least one of these machines … Some of us may be a little sceptical and still believe in the adage ‘no pain no gain’ after all how can 10-mins of standing or stretching (on a vibrating platform) possibly hold the equivalent benefit to an hour’s workout?

Is The Gym Outdated – You Decide

Crazy Fit Massager Body Vibration Plate Exercise MachineSuch thinking may be ’so last century’ and perhaps has more to do with the psychological benefit we gain from pounding a treadmill, believing that this punishment somehow compensates for all our poor social habits especially where eating and drinking are concerned. Instead lets celebrate the arrival of such a wonder because of the overall effect in return for so little effort.

The price of these machines (as used by Madonna) varies greatly and the top of the range are priced in the region of $12K although they are currently advertised at $231 and from all accounts there isn’t a deal of difference Crazy Fit Massager Body Vibration Plate Exercise Machine.

The Moon Landings

My dad (sadly was no longer around by the late 60’s when the moon-landings took place) would amuse us with his ’strange’ enthusiasm for a future where our nutritional intake would be in tablet form (as depicted by astronauts) as he wasn’t much of a food fan …

He would have loved the thinking behind this machine and in the words of Neil Armstrong; “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”. Indeed these machines rock if you catch my drift …
