Finding Relief Through Vibration Training
Oliver Wayne claims he’s seen it all in the last 40 years – every exercise supplement and contraption out there – and he’s got stories like being a former world champion power lifter. At 59, he’s now a personal trainer at my new gym, staying healthy so he can enjoy his grandkids. I liked Wayne the first day we met.
I figured Wayne had heard the buzz about vibration platforms… but nope, nutin. So I sent him some studies. I’m not sure why, but I wanted him to try it out and tell me what he thought. Of course he was skeptical, just like I had been. I’m sure he had flashbacks of the old fat man with the vibration belt around his waist, trying endlessly to shake the fat off.
Either I’m ridiculously good looking or Wayne was won over by curiosity and wanted to try it out. I lent him my platform. A few days later I was supposed to go pick it up, but he wouldn’t give it to me…Did he love it or was he plotting against me? In all seriousness, he really did like it! He said the eight hour shifts as a security guard (his other job) had become easier and less painful. He discovered something that gave him relief from his sore body and feet, and he wanted one of his own.
It’s only been a few weeks since Wayne got his own platform, and he’s using it regularly. He said he likes to stand and stretch on it but has also started to mix in weight training on it too. He’s eager to see how much it will increase his strength and power. So far, it’s all good news. He’s even put together a list of local trainers and gym owners that he wants to show it to.
Wayne’s a talker, so I always get the progress report when I see him at the gym. He tells me that his next and most important goal is to get his wife and mother vibrating too!
Keep talking to your family and friends Wayne… We love it!
