Stay in Shape Using Vibration Exercise

The Origins of the Latest Fat Fighting Vibration Exercise Machine

Greece… Ahhhh!  The sun, the islands, the olives, the vibration exercise. Er, excuse me? Well, while we might know and love the Mediterranean hot spot for great holidays and meze, the Ancient Grecians, in addition to creating the intoxicating retsina, knew a thing or two about exercise and body conditioning. They were, in fact, the first to use a primitive form of vibration which was applied to poorly functioning muscles in order to get them working properly again.

Move forward a few hundred years and enter the East Germans and the Russians who, in the 60′s, carried out further experimentation to see if vibration exercise really could help the body’s muscles to function more efficiently. In the case of the Soviet Union, their cosmonauts were suffering from muscular dystrophy in space due to the lack of gravity and they needed to try and find a way to combat it. Through the experiments of Vladimir Nazarov, it was discovered that if muscles were exposed to direct vibrational stimulation, they became stronger and firmer. It was only after the Cold War had ended that people outside of the USSR had access to Dr. Nazarov’s results. Now, thanks to the thawing out of East-West relations, the body and health-conscious among us can finally profit from the Russians’ clandestine experiments.  

A direct descendant of these early trials exists today in the form of a vibration plate – a machine which couples a small platform, on which you stand or place your body, with a powerful motor and variable speed control. Standing upright on the vibration station, your body naturally wants to remain exactly in that position – upright. What the machine does in essence is to try to knock you off balance causing your muscles to involuntarily move back to their original position, that is, in the correct position to support your upright body. By simply standing on the vibration machine therefore, your muscles get a targeted workout like no other as they constantly fight to get back to neutral.   

In addition to gaining more toned and stronger muscles, you lose fat fast due to its use as the energy resource required to use the machine. Other health benefits of vibration exercise include: stronger bones, an improved circulatory system, longer stamina and endurance, and reduced cellulite.  

Vibration exercise has come a long way since the original dabblings of the Ancient Greeks. Today’s vibration machines are slim-lined pieces of equipment that pack a powerful punch in the fight against the flab. Why not give vibration exercise a trial run and see what results you can achieve.
