Vibrating Exercise Machine A Perfect Source to Fighting Against Obesity

A vibrating exercise machine can be regarded as a weight loss tool, but not because it makes the fat melt away without any effort from your part. This doesn’t happen, and it’s important to remember that like any other form of exercise, vibration machine training does require effort, and that you must perform various exercises on the machine in order to burn calories and see results on the scale.

While it’s true that some companies market their WBV platforms as miracle devices that can make you slim overnight and with minimum effort, this is simply not true. A WBV platform cannot make you lose weight, and simply standing on the vibrating machine will not make your thighs slimmer and your abs more toned.
What a vibrating exercise machine can do though is to help your body burn its stored fats in a more effective manner, to accelerate the metabolic rate for faster calorie consumption, and to prevent the accumulation of new fat cells, thus preventing weight gain.
A vibrating machine forces the muscles to contract and relax faster than during regular exercises, and these contractions make them burn calories at faster rates. This means that you can burn more fats in the same time interval if you exercise on a vibrating machine than if you do conventional exercises.

Scientists from Egypt showed that whole body vibration can increase fat oxidation in postmenopausal women, improving the waist-to-hip ratio. The method is safe for obese individuals and provides similar results to conventional resistance exercises, showed the study conducted by researchers at the National Research Center in Giza.

In this study, 80 women aged 50 to 68, with excess pounds, exercised on a vibrating machine or performed regular resistance exercises. Their body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio was measured after 8 months and so was fat oxidation. WBV was found to maximize fat reduction and increase calorie consumption.
Scientists from the University of Antwerp obtained similar results, a study published in the journal of Obesity Facts in 2010 showing that combining either aerobic or whole body vibration training with calorie restriction can help obese people lose 5-10% of their body weight, and significantly reduce their fat mass, after 6-12 months of training.

For this study, participants performed 10-22 exercises at frequencies varying from 30 Hz to 40 Hz, each exercise lasting for 30-60 seconds. Subjects performed both static and dynamic exercises on the vibrating machine, no side effects being experienced.
