Whole Body Vibration (WBV) and it's effects on blood circulation.

While the use of Whole Body Vibration therapy and training is still a relatively new concept to most health, fitness and medical professionals, it certainly does not suffer from lack of supportive research, and while there is obviously more research yet to be done in this area, the overwhelming consistency of findings from scientific research that currently exists on the subject is a compelling testimony to WBV's potential applications and it's impact on this revolutionary approach to training and treatment.

Being one who has suffered for years from chronic venous insufficiency the effect of vibration training on my blood vessels is clear to see and to feel. After 10 minutes on my WBV machine, I see that the skin of my lower leg has turned a healthy pink. This is a sign that the blood vessels in that area are wide open. It also explains the feeling which I can best describe as, coming home after a snowball fight with your bare hands, and then putting your hands in a bucket of warm water. The tingling feeling indicates that my blood vessels are dilated and my lower legs and feet are getting a fresh supply of oxygen charged blood. In Germany, the effect of Whole Body Vibration training is used as therapy for disturbed peripheral circulation, particularly in the lower legs, such as in chronic venous insufficiency, and I can fully appreciate why.

After only a few weeks of training on my WBV equipment I have also noticed improvement in my balance and overall functional fitness, especially the muscle power in my legs. Dizzy spells that used to occur at the most inconvenient times are now a thing of the past.

My daily 10 minute vibration workout relieves stress, improves my mood and gives me long lasting confidence to face the most challenging circumstances of the day.

7 WBV (Whole Body Vibration) Tips for Losing Weight, Fat, and Cellulite

Can you imagine losing weight and transforming your physique in just ten minutes a day? And doing it without a gym membership or personal trainer? You can achieve your goals in the convenience of your own home? No drastic and unsustainable fad diet plans are necessary. If this sounds too good to be true, read on...

All these benefits are absolutely possible with Whole Body Vibration exercise on a high quality vibration machine. Regular exercise on one of these machines will sculpt and reshape your body without taking a lot of your time, without strenuous exertion, and positively without surgery or drugs. Whole Body Vibration has become the revolutionary method for weight loss and will definitely compliment any of your current efforts. Not to mention the boost in self-esteem you'll feel!

7 WBV (Whole Body Vibration) Tips for Losing Weight, Fat, and Cellulite:

1. Boost Calorie Burn: Exercising on the vibration machine burns up a massive amount of calories in a very short period of time--up to 500 calories in 10 minutes! Logically, the high rate of muscle contraction of up to 28 times per second causes a much higher calorie burn than during a normal gym session. Also, more energy is used because almost ALL of your muscle fibers are working during vibration training, as opposed to just 45%.
2. Boosts Metabolism: Whole body vibration has been shown to boost resting metabolism-this your metabolism as you're sitting down or sleeping. Increased metabolism is absolutely crucial to weight loss success, especially if you've been in a calorie deficit type of diet for a while or already have a sluggish metabolism (for example, those with hypo-thyroidism). Having a slow metabolism makes weight loss extremely difficult even with good diet and exercise.
3. Supports lean muscle mass: The rapid vibrations help maintain and build lean muscle mass. In any weight loss program, there is a risk of losing valuable lean muscle mass. Boosting lean muscle mass means your body burns more calories throughout the entire day--not just during the workout. The more calories you burn, the higher the potential is for dramatic weight loss.
4. Boosts Human Growth Hormone: Carmelo Bosco, renowned biomedical and exercise scientist, performed research that showed whole body vibration exercise to boost Human Growth Hormone (HGH) by 361%. HGH is a hormone that generally decreases as we get older. This decrease is related to a weakening of muscles and increased weight gain. Whole Body Vibration fitness naturally increases your HGH and helps to create a more toned, muscular, and lean body, along with the other benefits of HGH.
5. Lowers stress hormone: Cortisol is known as the stress hormone, or the "belly fat" hormone. Research has shown that cortisol promotes weight gain particularly around the belly. We also know that stress is one of the main reasons we experience accelerated aging and gain weight. Whole body vibration exercise can reduce your circulating cortisol levels by 30%, making the whole body vibration an ideal companion to a solid weight loss program.
6. Improves Blood Oxygenation and Circulation: Improved blood health significantly helps you shed and reduce the appearance of cellulite (and varicose veins!) Oxygen is great fuel for your muscles and brain too!
7. Boosts lymphatic health: The problem with the lymphatic system is that it does not have a built-in pump like your heart, yet it plays a huge role in detoxification. Over time it can accumulate fat deposits, toxins, and metabolic waste products that need to be flushed out. Waste means weight. Rebounding or power-walking while swinging and pumping your arms is one way of flushing out your lymphatic system, but oscillating/pivotal whole body vibration is like rebounding on steroids!

There is absolutely no other form of exercise that can do all of this! Whether you're male or female, young or old, fit or out of shape, Whole Body Vibration exercise on a high-quality vibration machine can improve your life in a dramatic way that affects almost every area of your life.
