The Vibration Plate May Aid Weight Loss

May 08

There are many products out there that claim the mostly impossible: easy weight. Everyone who has ever embarked on a slimming journey will know how difficult it can be to stick to a diet regime.

Exercising can be of great help as it not only makes your body stronger and burns calories, but also aids long term weight management.

The ScienceDaily posted an interesting find: The vibration plate machine may actually aid weight loss!

What was hailed as another fad, is backed by new research. If you used properly, the vibration plate exercise machine may help you lose weight and trim belly fat between the organs.

In a study presented on Friday at the European Congress on Obesity, scientists found that overweight or obese people who regularly used the equipment in combination with a calorie restricted diet were more successful at long-term weight loss and shedding the fat around their abdominal organs than those who combined dieting with a more conventional fitness routine.

“These machines are increasingly found in gyms across the industrialized world and have gathered a devoted following in some places, but there has not been any evidence that they help people lose weight. Our study, the first to investigate the effects of vibration in obese people, indicates it’s a promising approach. It looks like these machines could be a useful addition to a weight control package,” said the study’s leader, Dirk Vissers, a physiotherapist at the Artesis University College and the University of Antwerp in Belgium.

 

The Vibration plate is available for ca £150-300.

Recession proof ways to stay fit

I’ve never quite got the gym appeal and although you have access to numerous workout machines, you can get the same results by exercising at home.

So instead of paying a monthly sum, check out the Internet. There are tons of websites featuring free exercises and fitness tips, such as the Sparkpeople. You can find virtually anything from fitness routines to single exercises. Another fantastic resource is YouTube, showing complete workouts of all kinds.

Invest in a Fitness dvd such as the Tracy Anderson method. Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow’s personal trainer released a home dance cardio workout which will get you sweating.
