Whole body vibration machine

[windwaver]

Did some research but as usual, some people claim it works like a charm but not others.

Is anybody using the vibration machine to tone muscles or lose weight? How are the actual results?

Thanks.

It's a toy. There is probably no evidence it works to change your body composition.

I was thinking of a combination of machines for better indoor exercise. Maybe a 15 mins on a whole body vibration machine followed by weights and probably some interval training.

Seems similar to what the PTs at True Fitness are doing. You could always see if you can get a trial or just pay for a couple of lessons? Nothing beats personal experience testing it out.

You can skip the vibration machine and just do the weights and interval training.

I used it before and I don't think its known for losing weight.
Some professional athletes swear by it.
Just don't make it vibrate too strong or you are going to regret it.

Does the vibration help in toning or relaxing muscles/joints?

If it keeps you motivated/interested then go ahead and do it. Just know that it's about as useful as playing Wii.

Actually I am thinking to try it out and if it works for older folks; probably buy it for my parents as they cannot perform exercises that stresses their joints too much.

I would say no. It's an expensive experiment that I'm certain wouldn't work.

I studied in nutrition and in some sort sport nutrition
Vibrate machining moves your body "physically" but in terms of body metabolism, it does not helps the actual cells of your body to use and burn any calories and stay healthy. Therefore, it is not worth to use and by those machine as it is very expensive.

No actual official enough reports, or studies have found yet on that.
Moving for real in gym would be much better

I guess it's not even useful for old folks in that case.

BTW, is eating home made yogurt better? I find that yogurt off the shelves from supermarket is super sweet.

Buy plain, full fat yogurt then. That's what I do.

Plain full fat?

You mean those without any taste that is used for cooking? Is it good for after working out when hunger strike?

I always have a problem with hunger after working out.

 

[galapogos]

I am unfamiliar with the use of yogurt for cooking.

As an example, I consume Emmi swiss yogurt, plain, 4% full fat.

Thanks, I'll keep a look out for that. When do you eat yogurt? Good for bed time snack?

I eat it as part of my breakfast. You can eat it anytime.

Great! I occasionally have this night snack craving especially working out late after a long day at work.

Do you take the yogurt with fruits or something?
