Almost every spa in our time offers such a service as classes on the vibro platform. This is an easy way to bring muscles into tone, get rid of cellulite, improve metabolism . But is the vibro platform for weight loss effective?
The simulator "Vibroplatform"
This simulator is a platform that has its own frequency and amplitude of oscillations. Thanks to this, it is possible to give additional load to the body, and standing on the simulator, it is enough to perform the simplest exercises. Thanks to vibration, the consumption of calories reaches 600 units per hour (this is about the same as when an hour of intense running on skates or skis).
In addition to exercises, such a simulator can help in warm-up, stretching and even make you a massage. The cost of such a simulator starts at an average of $ 1000, so for home use this simulator is not too popular - as a rule, to work out on it ladies go to the spa.
Are vibro-platform exercises effective?
Advertising claims that only the training on the simulator is enough to effectively reduce weight, get luxurious body contours, defeat cellulite and in a matter of days turn into a slender lady. Of course, the effect of the simulator is exaggerated: no matter how much you are engaged in it, if you continue to eat sweet, fatty, fried and floury, the weight will not go away intensively, since the caloric content of the diet will still be higher than the energy expenditure.
That is why the vibrating platform is effective only as part of an integrated approach: proper nutrition , rejection of flour, sweet and fat, increased motor activity in general, and training on the simulator - in this case you will get a good result.
