Whole Body Vibration—Weight Loss

piechart_v2Using the vibration machine for 10 minutes is the equivalent of 30-60 minutes of conventional weight lifting (depending on which vibration machine is used). Just like other exercise, a WBV workout increases your metabolism leading to burning more calories. Especially used with other aerobic exercise this can result in losing pounds, inches, fat, and cellulite.

A recent systematic review (1) of eighteen research articles about using WBV with obese patients has shown increased metabolism, and weight and fat loss with WBV, along with other improvements in other health issues known to be related to obesity, such as heart health, peripheral and central circulation, glucose regulation, and inflammation levels. WBV is a huge plus in any weight-loss program.

How Whole Body Vibration Helps You Lose Weight:

  • WBV can be an intense workout, and, like any workout, this will increase your metabolic rate so that you burn more calories and lose weight more easily.
  • The workout will build lean muscle mass that will continue to burn more calories all day long. Lean muscle mass can account for 60 percent of your energy and calorie expenditure while at rest.
  • WBV raises serotonin levels in your brain which has a powerful antidepressant effect. Early research with animals showed increases in serotonin (2), and thousands of stories from happy users support this early evidence. With your mental state happier and calmer, it will be easier for you to eat properly and exercise.
  • WBV gives you strength and energy. So, when you do go out to exercise— now more often because you have more energy and you are in a better emotional and mental state—you will work harder, consequently burning more calories.
  • WBV lowers  cortisol (3).  Cortisol  is  a  major  stress  and aging hormone that promotes fat production and storage. Lowering cortisol levels helps promote fat burning and proper fat metabolism.
  • WBV promotes joint health in numerous ways so that you have greater mobility and are able to exercise more.

 

Vibrant Health's 2019 Survey Results:

In Vibrant Health’s 2019 survey of our customers, 50% of those who wanted to lose weight reported that they indeed lost weight. This is a high success rate, in an area where success rates are usually low.  And as 88% of our survey respondents were between the ages of 50 and 80, the data show that WBV can be effective for weight loss with older people.
