Wow, what a loaded question!
I answer with, what results do you want to see?
It’s all to easy to answer such a generalised question with: Of course it works! You’ll lose weight and get stronger in no time at all.
One of the lessons I learnt when I first worked in a Fitness Facility was, never, ever guess what results a person wants or expects from their program. Never look at a person who’s overweight and assume that’s the area they want results. It might be that they are okay with their size and really want to improve their core stability or just get rid of back pain. A common answer to the question, “what are your goals and what results do you want to see?” is “I just want to feel better, not so tired all the time”. Telling that person that they need to lose weight would offend and they’d probably never come back.
Vibration Training on high force, high quality platforms offers so many benefits and that’s the reason I am so passionate about it. I don’t have to hype up an answer to any question I am asked; there’s so much I can honestly say.
When asked about weight-loss I prefer to say that vibration training has great toning effects. It’s intense though short sessions cause the body to use up large amounts of energy. It definitely feels like exercise and leaves the user tired but with a great, after-exercise “buzz”. After about 3 weeks (maybe 10 sessions) women see results; the bathroom mirror becomes a friend rather than enemy as a sideways glance shows shape changes. I’ve had customers complain that their expensive designer jeans no longer fit well yet the scales aren’t showing any major weightloss yet. For me, that’s the most exciting time; being able to say that a customer has gained muscle and so has gained strength, improved their overall fitness, looks brighter, feels better and the list goes on.
Did I say they are also maintaining or gently improving their bone density and ridding their body of toxins due to the increased blood supply and all that vibration thinning out and squeezing some fluid from cells where it’s been lying stagnant for who know how long. And balancing out their homones; but that will keep for another blog.
Di, I look forward to the blog you posted about in the last paragraph!
I’m playing catch up on your articles, because for some reason your RSS feed disappeared from my sidebar!
Here I thought you hadn’t been posting, until I finally decided it was time to take a look at your website again!
Thanks for the continuation of inspiring articles!
