slimmy120 2 Posted March 24, 2008 Was thinking of getting the vibra machine, it is a vibrating plateform. Stood on one the other day and vibrates your whole body. Anyone had good results with it?:wub: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bergdorfblonde 3 Posted March 26, 2008 haha Lana. On a serious note, I was thinking about getting one too. I would love to go to a store and try it out first. Do you think the home ones are as effective as the commercial ones? The real vibration platforms cost thousands of dollars but they sell some at Walmart for around $300. I wonder if they vibrate less. Also, I wonder if the vibration machine really makes you lose weight. It seems too good to be true, that you just stand on it and lose weight. I guess I should go try one. Was thinking of getting the vibra machine, it is a vibrating plateform. Stood on one the other day and vibrates your whole body.

Lana24 10 Posted March 26, 2008 well, there have been many weight loss "products" and there was a vibrating machine back in the 20's and what we have learned from that is that nothing, no products will help you just loss weight by standing there. All jokes aside, keep your money and take a walk or ride a bike...the human body needs activity to loss weight...diet and exercise...there is no simple cure or pill or powder and no amount of vibration will burn a signifigant amount of calories. Since we are talking about vibrating...remember sexual activity will burn 20-100 calories and that is it, so if you just lay there what do you think will happen? My guess is not much will happen...

Jachut 487 Posted March 26, 2008 The theory behind them is that they boost the result of your workout becuase the vibrations mean that your body must work hard to stabilise itself as well as to actually work out. I'd like to give it a try too but the places round here with them charge an arm and a leg to use them. Its one of those things too, I dont know that I'd trust the $300 machine could do the job of the $3000 machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheetsin 714 Posted March 26, 2008 No honey, it's not what you think it is. It's for "cellulite" -- I promise! Jacqui - great point. That's why I don't own home gym equipment. It's affordable compared to what the gyms have, but the lifespan and effectiveness just aren't the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
