Get Rid Of Those Extra Pounds While Having Fun

europlateCan you believe we are finishing out the first decade in this new millennium? With the start of a New Year comes all the usual traditions: the parading of a baby, eating of luck-bringing foods, and the making of New Year’s resolutions. All of these traditions symbolize new beginnings and the desire for a better life.

The number one resolution made in America is the commitment to weight loss. If losing those extra pounds is on your resolution list you are probably aware it will be a long term obligation. For the best success you need to make a lifestyle change. The difficultly of changing your routine is that usually your time is already filled with both required and habitual activities. Transforming behavior is not only difficult but often unpleasant. Now think of how much more successful you would be with your fitness program if you could make it both fun and have it require less time to accomplish the stronger, slimmer physique you desire.

How Does WBV Work?

The oscillating vibration motion of the VibraSlim plate stimulates the body’s muscle stretch reflex. By animating the muscle spindles a continual contraction and relaxation is created within the muscles. This is the same kind of workout the muscles receive when performing any kind of physical task.

Muscle cells are not able to maintain a constant contraction. In order to be effective muscles need to work, then rest. To emulate a nonstop force the brain activates several groups of muscle cells in a repeat pattern of rapid succession. WBV is an effective method of accomplishing this kind of muscle stimulation.

The VibraSlim is a Whole Body Vibration (WBV) machine. WBV was originally developed by the Soviets to maintain the muscle and bone integrity of their cosmonauts in a gravity-free environment. Russian astronauts were able to stay in space for 420 days using WBV, whereas NASA astronauts were compelled to come back after only 120 days. NASA has now incorporated WBV into their space program.

The VibraSlim is both fun and easy to use. You just need to stand on the vibrating plate for as little as ten minutes a day to receive the same benefit as a 60 minute calisthenic program.

How Does WBV Help Weight Loss?

Long-term studies have shown that WBV helps in weight loss in the following ways:

  • Muscles Gain Mass – Muscles require more energy (calories) to maintain their integrity than other body tissues. This is helpful because if you are eating less while gaining muscle your body will use stored fat as a fuel source.
  • Helps Burn Fat – The VibraSlim aids in the production of serotonin and human growth hormone. Both help to raise the body’s metabolism. With a higher metabolism fat is more easily used as fuel.
  • Improves Blood Flow – With an improved circulatory system both the blood and lymphatic fluids will help to remove toxins and fat from the body.

Last year on February 12th The Tyra Banks Show demonstrated a WBV machine. The woman who participated was weighed both before and after a ten minute workout. Her weight had gone from 165.6 to 164.6. That is an impressive one pound loss.

proplateOverall, by regularly using the VibraSlim you will tone up the tissues of your body while increasing your energy level. And if you have any limitations in flexibility the VibraSlim is an excellent method of getting exercise without creating the wear and tear other physical activities often generate.

Other Effects Of WBV On The Body

Research has shown that WBV helps to build bone density. With stronger bones osteoporosis is less likely to become a problem for you. Also because the workout you receive from the VibraSlim is low-impact your recovery time will decrease. As you continue to use the VibraSlim your flexibility and coordination will improve which will help relieve any joint troubles you may have.

Two Models To Choose From

Promolife carries two models of VibraSlims. The Pro is the more powerful machine with a two horsepower motor. It has a weight capacity of 400 pounds. The Europlate has a 1.5 horsepower motor and is capable of supporting 275 pounds.

So if you have a New Year’s goal of losing weight while shaping up, the VibraSlim is a fun way to stay motivated and will become an effective way for you to gain better health.
