"I'm talking about good vibrations," an emerging trend in the fitness industry is whole body vibration. Many trying to launch this trend have said that whole body vibrations can improve muscle strength, increase bone density, burn fat, increase metabolism and improve circulation.

Most Whole Body Vibration Machines on the market state that for only 10 minutes a day, 3-7 times a week, it can make a huge difference in your body’s health and fitness. If this is true, then that means all those excuses of not having time to go to the gym will no longer be valid. The verdict is still out on whether this type of fitness is beneficial or harmful.

How whole body vibration machines work:

* Scientifically calibrated machines deliver vibrations through oscillating plates from the feet up distributing vibral energy to your entire body.

* Vibrations can be delivered two ways, left to right or up and down.

Many athletes and fitness and rehabilitation centers are using vibration in their exercise programs and now whole body vibration machines are available to the public. Soloflex has their own and there are many out that can vary from reasonably priced, such as Soloflex, to very expensive.

What do you think of whole body vibration as fitness? Is it harmful or helpful?
