VibraSlim Pro-Energy Vibration Fitness Exercise Machine
what people are saying
You hold a sequence of poses, including squats and a legs-in-the-air crunch, for up to 90 seconds at a time while the platform vibrates. Ten minutes of this, says Ironman, is equal to 60 minutes of "conventional strenuous exercise." We planned to test the Resolution for a full month—but then we turned it on.
Anyone who has tried yoga knows that holding a position can be a tough workout. The violent shaking made it slightly harder to maintain some of the poses, which we assume was meant to be a good thing. But this skull-rattling, innard-scrambling machine also gave us headaches and made us nauseous, and the platform's nonskid surface scraped our palms and bruised our shins. After one day with this merciless, bucking bronco, none of us — including the personal trainer we brought in — were brave enough to get back in the saddle.

This exerp was from a review of a IronMan Vibration machine. Be very careful many machines like the Ironman are terrible. Don't get stuck with a bad machine buy a VIBRASLIM - www.myvibraslim.com
Vibration exercise is not like traditional fitness, instead vibration exercises use a machine / equipment that cause the vibrations. With a touch of the button, a vibration is made that enables the body muscles to contract in reflex actions. Vibration exercise can be done in some parts of the body or the whole body depending on the positions used. The point for vibration exercise is to aid the contraction of muscles in the body without strenuously doing a physical work that enables the contraction. It’s the job of the machine to do the work of contracting muscles in vibration fitness instead of the user. This changes everything! Now you can let the machine do your workout for you! Just position your body in the more than 15 positions and in ten minutes you are done! Visit www.myvibraslim.com for more info.
As you increase your muscle mass, there is an increase in basal metabolic rate which helps burn extra calories. Because VibraSlim whole body vibration is a "passive" exercise, neither perspiration nor lactic acid is generated. What this means for you is no increase in your heart rate, no need for a shower after, and no achy muscles the following day!
Research has demonstrated that a 10-minute whole body vibration workout, barefoot but in clothes you are wearing during your busy day, delivers the equivalent of an hour of weight training in a gym. However, unlike the time consuming health club workouts that concentrate on a specific muscle group, VibraSlim whole body vibration exercises muscles in the entire body.
The benefits of VibraSlim whole body vibration are:
1) Muscle Toning/Body Reshaping.
2) Increase lymphatic drainage and micro circulation, which improves leg swelling and cellulite.
3) Increases serotonin production, which helps combat Seasonal Affected Disorder.
4) Enhanced endorphin release generating that 'feel good' sensation which follows a traditional work out (runner's high).
5) Increase production of Growth Hormones with all of its anti-aging benefits.
6) Increased testosterone production, particularly helpful for women's libido.
7) Decreased production of Serum Cotisol (the body's stress hormone).
8) Enhanced bone density and bone building as the exercise is weight bearing.
