Whole Body Vibration: Rejuvenate your LifeStyle with Style for Life!

Health benefits of whole body Vibration

Because the vibration exercise machine triggers millions of involuntary muscle contractions throughout the body every second, a 10-minute training session causes a chain reaction that results in numerous health benefits.

Because working out with a vibrating exercise machine recruits nearly 100% of muscle fiber, including those at the joints and ligaments, vibrational exercise helps move blood through even the smallest blood vessels (microcirculation). This promotes tissue oxygenation, cell hydration, and the distribution of nutrients - such as endorphins, serotonin, epinephrine, hGH, and other beneficial hormones and proteins that vibration exercise boosts.

Whole Body Vibration has been shown to:

• strengthen fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscles with near-total muscle recruitment
• build bone mass and make bones more fracture-resistant
• strengthen connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints
• provide the equivalent of traditional aerobic exercise in a fraction of the time
• improve blood circulation without raising blood pressure or heart rate
• promote lymph drainage and combats water retention
• improve organ functions and waste processing
• trigger production of hGH, serotonin, collagen, epinephrine and endorphins while reducing production of stress hormone cortisol
• improve function of connective tissue, which combats arthritis and builds flexibility and balance
• aid surgical recovery and rehabilitation by maintaining muscle strength and improving lymph and circulation

Agility and Strength

• Whole Body Vibration causes gentle, rapid muscle contractions at rates up to 30 times per second, compared with only a few contractions per second in traditional exercise.
• Because the muscle contractions are involuntary, nearly 100% of the muscle fibers are recruited in whole body vibration training – including those at the joints – compared to 40% on average in conventional training. This greatly increases agility, flexibility and balance.
• A Vibration exercise machine stimulates both fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers. Fast-twitch muscle fiber produces strong bursts of power that boost agility, speed, jump height, throwing power and so forth. Slow-twitch muscle fiber is responsible for endurance.
• Because the vibrating exercise platform creates gentle contractions that build muscle mass passively, Vibration exercise doesn't the generate lactic acid responsible for the “ripped” feeling associated with weightlifting and other strenuous exercise. When used to complement other athletic training, total body vibration machines actually aid removal of lactic acid by improving circulation and stimulating drainage and detoxification.
• As muscle mass increases, the body’s metabolism naturally expends more energy, fostering passive weight loss. Increased muscle mass helps build bone mass, even in post-menopausal women at risk for osteoporosis.
• The Vibration exercise machine boosts production of collagen, which is the primary component of tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissue, thereby aiding flexibility and balance. Collagen also gives bones the elastic quality that improves fracture resistance.
• Total body vibration machines boost secretion of human growth hormone (hGH), which increases calcium retention, and strengthens and increases the mineralization of bone. hGH also increases muscle mass through the creation of new muscle cells, and it promotes lipolysis, which breaks down fat cells.

Hormones & Detoxification

De-stress and reduce Cortisol levels for easy relaxation

When the body is stressed - not enough exercise or sleep, unhealthy diet, too many toxins, depression, anxiety - the body triggers production of serum cortisol, a stress hormone that gets the body to protect itself by storing energy as body fat. A Vibration exercise machine stimulates muscle-building contractions in muscle fibers throughout the body, causing all the body's organs to contract and relax repeatedly, which stimulates proper organ functioning.

Your Organs and Hormones have a lot to do with your good health!

The organs' proper functioning takes the body out of stress mode, which reduces production of cortisol and stimulates the endocrine system to secrete beneficial hormones like:

• serotonin - provides a sense of happiness and helps combat seasonal affective disorder (SAD),
• hGH - human growth hormone (see below)
• endorphins - generate an overall sense of well-being
• epinephrine - helps the brain regulate blood pressure, cardiovascular function, lipolysis (fat breakdown), and other autonomic activities
• neurotrophins - stimulates neuron functioning in the central nervous system, improving brain function
• testosterone - stimulates female sex drive
  

Stimulate Human Growth Hormone

Human Growth Hormone (hGH) stimulates cell growth and reproduction throughout the body. hGH is secreted at its highest levels during puberty, and secretion decreases with many factors associated with aging, lack of exercise, and over-consumption of dietary carbohydrates. Total body vibration machines stimulation of hGH production combats the aging process by:

• increasing calcium retention and the mineralization of bone
• increasing muscle mass through the creation of new muscle cells
• promoting lipolysis, which breaks down fat cells,
• increasing protein synthesis and stimulating the growth of all internal organs excluding the brain, and
• stimulating the immune system, among other benefits.

Increase Lymphatic detoxification and cleanse your system

In addition, total body vibration machines stimulate the lymphatic system to remove excess fluids from body tissues, absorb fatty acids, transport fat to the circulatory system, and produce immune cells such as lymphocytes, monocytes, and antibody-producing plasma cells. Meanwhile, vibration exercise prompts intestinal movement that speeds digestion and loosens waste material for release, and its impact on the circulatory system helps mobilize and flush toxins from the entire body.

Cardio Benefits

• By maximizing muscle fiber recruitment throughout the body, Vibration exercise machines deliver all the cardio benefits of conventional exercise - but without raising blood pressure or heart rate.
• Vibration exercise machines improved microcirculation removes toxins from cells throughout the body, which allows them to be filtered and flushed out of the body.
• Microcirculation also loosens stubborn fat cells and areas of cellulite, which hGH and epinephrine break down. Epinephrine also helps the brain regulate blood pressure and cardiovascular function.
• Vibration exercise stimulates the production of collagen, which strengthens blood vessels, and vibrating exercise improves venous return, both of which help prevent varicose veins. Cellulite & Skin
• By stimulating near-total muscle recruitment throughout the body, a vibrating exercise platform pushes blood through even the smallest capillaries. The improved circulation helps hydrate and nourish skin cells and hair follicles, and it reduces congestion in fat and cellulite, making fat cells accessible for breakdown.
• A Vibration exercise machine increases human growth hormone (hGH) secretion, which plays a pivotal role in lipolysis, or the breakdown of fat cells, thereby aiding the breakdown of cellulite. hGH also stimulates cell growth and reproduction in almost every organ, including skin. Its anti-aging qualities slow the appearance of wrinkles and cell deterioration.
• Vibration exercise machines stimulates production of collagen, which, along with keratin, is responsible for skin strength and elasticity. Collagen also strengthens blood vessels. Combined with vibrating exercise improvements to venous return, the strengthened vessels help prevent spider veins and varicose veins.
• The Vibration exercise machine stimulates drainage in the lymphatic system, as well as the removal of excess water (edema). This combats the water retention, heavy legs, or bloated sensation many women experience as part of PMS.
