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 …
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Is The Gym Outdated – You Decide
Such 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 …

Because this is the first post on what is a fresh and crisp new blog I want to launch it with a very worthy topic.
The final aspect that gives the book its objective approval in the form of scientific evidence is being found in various fields such as: astronomy; genetics; quantum mechanics; quantum physics; and re-emerging sciences that were buried in ancient history.
