Strength Training: Whole Body Vibration Makes It Easy

By now you probably know that strength training is one of the most important things you need to do for yourself. It is the one thing that will help you through everything you do in your life…for your entire life. The changes we make to our bodies now, will reflect in our overall health later in life.

Strength training(www.mayoclinic.com/health/strength-training/) is achieved many different ways; none being more important than muscle strengthening. Your muscles must be worked for you to see results. Use it or loose it has never rang more true. With the Soloflex Whole Body Vibration (WBV), you’ll be able to implement the next step to your exercise routine that will effectively change the way you workout.

Strength training is not isolated to any one type of muscle building;(www.postbulletin.com/newsmanager/templates/localnews-story/) from climbing stairs, to lifting weights and stretching. These are all parts of a training program. Your program should include opening with a light stretch for flexibility and mobility, and then lead into lifting weights or resistance training to build muscle and endurance. Finishing up with a cardio routine, as this will get your heart rate elevated, making your heart healtheir while buring calories at the same time.

A good workout program will be done 5 days a week, with traditional training taking up to 1-2 hours per day. This is a lot of time! There is an answer to this problem; the Soloflex Whole Body Vibration (WBV) (www.wbv.net.au/documents/wbv.pdf/)

When you add WBV to your routine you can cut your workout time down to only 10-15 minutes per day and do all of the important exercises on your routine. Nothing needs to be missed. WBV will add benefits to any exercise; stretching, weight lifting, or resistance training, or cardio. Vibration technology forces the muscles to react by contracting and relaxing involuntarily; causing an enormous increase in blood flow to muscles, tendons, ligaments, and tissues.

NASA and the Russian Space Program(www.vibrationz-thelawofattraction.blogspot.com/) started using WBV years ago to help pilots muscles from atrophying while in space. Soon after, trainers and doctors began to see the great benefits WBV could offer professional athletes(www.thefreelibrary.com/whole-body-vibration-helps-athletes/). Professional sport franchises have widely and enthusiastically embraced the concept, including the:

  • NFL
  • NHL
  • MLB
  • MLS

Not only can WBV help reduce the time a workout takes it also aids in faster muscle growth, better flexibility, better blood circulation, reduction of sore muscles, improved balance, even help heal athletic related injuries. The Soloflex WBV gives you less time working out, better results, it’s easy to use , and safe: what more could you want?

Affordability?

Price has, until now, been the most difficult thing about a WBV Platform. They have only been available to professional athletes, government industries, and celebrities like Madonna and George Clooney because they cost so much to purchase. Commercial units can run as high as $12,000! The average person can’t afford that.

We proudly offer the Soloflex WBV Platform at an affordable price so this very important conditioning can be available to all. The Soloflex WBV Platform is only $445. Yes, Soloflex had done it again. We have brought home weight lifting and resistance training to homes for over 30 years with the best built, safest home equipment on the market. With over one million Classic Soloflex machines, one hundred thousand Rockits, and two hundred-and-fifty thousand Adjustable Hand Weight Systems sold to date, Soloflex has given people the best opportunities for strength training on their terms and time. Now with the WBV you can continue with your Soloflex routine or any other routine you may have in a lot less time with better results that only WBV can offer.

When you begin using WBV you will find the vibration levels that best suit your needs. The range of vibration should run between 25hz – 60 hz(www.gymequipmentssports.blogspot.com/) for optimum results. The Soloflex WBV comes with an adjustable rheostat so you can find your perfect level. Over time you may up the hertz or always remain comfortable with the level you are at.

The Soloflex WBV Platform is built to last. Made of 3″ steel tubing legs, thick urethane molded foam pad over 15 ply wood that can hold up to 1200lbs, the highest quality motor and rheostat; just like the Classic Soloflex, you’ll be using your WBV for years to come!

The size of the platform is another reason to look at Soloflex. The platform is 41″ long, 10″ wide, 5″ high, and weighs 31lbs. This is much larger than most  other vibration units on the market, which allows you to perform a wide range of exercises including Pilates, Yoga, general stretching.

A weight resistance routine, as mentioned earlier, is the most important addition to your strength training. Soloflex sells the very best Adjustable Hand Weights on the market to aid in your goals. They have a very comfortable soft rubber hand grip with rubber plating on the weights themselves to help with safety and sound as well as overall visual quality.

Soloflex is also the only company to offer the vibration motor separately so it can be attached to almost any surface you choose. If you already own equipment and want to increase gains and benefits from that equipment that is not a problem. The WBV attachment motor can be attached to workout benches, chairs, any workout equipment. Soloflex sell the motor to many existing Soloflex product owners. The Classic Soloflex, The Rockit, and the Soloflex workout bench are all perfect candidates for a WBV attachment motor.

Any of the Soloflex products available can be purchased www.soloflex.com or call 1-800-547-8802. Also, please check out our new blog at http://soloflex.com.

Thirty years! That’s how long Soloflex has been making beautiful bodies. We have been hearing testimonials and receiving photos of Soloflex users for almost as long.

“I will be turning 50 in February (2009), and I’m still using the same Soloflex that I bought in 1981, when I was 22. I’ve updated the weight straps and added the butterfly and leg extension over the years, but the machine itself is still the same and it’s still going strong. One of the best products I’ve ever owned. Soloflex No. 21133″

— Kean on January 27th, 2009

In the beginning we wanted to bring the “gym” to everyone, for a price and size that fit in the corner of your home with quality unsurpassed. With the original Soloflex, we did just that, and continue to do so today.

Since Soloflex first began making fitness equipment thirty years ago, we have added a number of products to compliment and inspire your workouts. The Rockit, The Swimmer, Adjustable Hand Weights, and now the Whole Body Vibration Platform (WBV). All of these products were created with the same goal as the original Soloflex – get healthy, stay healthy.

All of our products build muscle, increase serotonin, relieve stress, and will help you leave a healthier life. The Soloflex WBV is also offering these opportunities to people who are recovering from injuries, suffer from physical limitations, and obesity. WBV stimulates the body’s stretch reflex and causes muscle contractions, forcing them to work even if you can not. The WBV works to enhance the workouts that you already have in place. This way, even the most physically fit can see the results of vibration training, and in just 1/3 of the time spent doing traditional weight training and stretching.

We here at Soloflex want to continue to hear from you and share your experiences with others. We can all inspire and help each other through conversation. Discuss workouts routines, motivations, experiences, or any thing you want to talk about. Everyone needs a little help now and then and together we can do just that. Do you have weight lifting questions, want to know some of the dos and don’ts in working out, Soloflex equipment questions, or wonder how to get to the next level of fitness? So many questions let’s get them out there. Send photos, drawings, what ever you want to share about yourself or Soloflex products and their effects on your life. Let’s Talk!

Tilt vibratory exercise improves the dynamic balance in fibromyalgia: A randomized controlled trial.

Posted by Rachael Lowe on March 19, 2010 · Leave a Comment

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of tilt whole-body vibration for improving dynamic balance in women with fibromyalgia (FM). Forty-one women (aged 41 to 65) were randomly assigned to either a vibration (n=21) or control (n=20) group. The vibration intervention consisted of a 30-minute session of instruction plus 3 sessions of whole-body vibration per week over a period of 12 weeks. Each vibration session consisted of 6 repetitions of a 45-60 second 12.5 Hz vibration. The posture of patient was lateral. Dynamic balance was assessed with a balance platform, the level of stability could be controlled. Based on intent-to-treat analysis, the dynamic balance of the vibration group improved by 36%, as compared to baseline, whereas that of the control group was unchanged.

The vibration program was useful and feasible for improving dynamic balance in women with FM. These novel results support further research aimed at the development of physical therapy programs that utilize controlled vibration

Exercising Can Saves Lives and Offer Pain Free Living

My Workout

By Nancy Dow – The Oregonian

Who: Jill LaTray, 43, Aloha; 5 feet 4 inches, 110 pounds

Workout: LaTray is a mother of five children ranging in age from 7 to 18.  A car accident in mid-2008 left her with chronic pain in her shoulders, back and neck.  She couldn’t stand, sit or walk for long, or lift much of anything.  She coundn’t take walks or work in her garden.  Her life became very limited, but her kids, she says, did an admirable job of taking up the slack.

She had tried various methods of obtaining relief when, last March, her chiropractor recommended the BStrong4Life program.  It’s designed to increase the core strength, bone density and muscle tone, and strengthen the spine using (deep-breath) BioDensity Neuro-Musculoskeletal Stimulation and Measurement Technology.  Total treatment time is 10-15 minutes a week.  The program is approved for ages 12 and up.

LaTray begins with a two to five minute warm-up on platforms that vibrate quickly, causing muscles to contract.  She moves to four isometric exercises.  The core pull, chest press, vertical lift and leg press.  Each exercise lasts five seconds.

Feedback:  LaTray says, “Before starting the program I didn’t have any pain-free moments; now it’s the opposite.  It’s just little bits of instead of little bits of no pain.  It’s very exciting.” She says improvement was immediate; by the second week of treatment she was able to garden for two or three hours without much pain.  She also could walk pain free for an hour three or four times a week.  She feels stronger and notices muscle definition in her arms, legs and abdomen.

As the weather makes walking less feasible, she’ll sometimes walk in a mall, but she loves nature trails.  She’d like to get back to biking and cross-country skiing but is taking it slowly and carefully.  In the meantime, her daily routine is much easier.

Nutrition:  She and her family eat mainly gluten- and dairy-free and low -sugar because of her children’s food sensitivities.  They eat a lot of produce, and she makes a lot of soup.  They avoid processed food in favor of beans, rice noodles, grass-fed free-range beef, chicken and turkey.  She uses brown rice syrup and applesauce as sugar substitutes.  Dessert might be a fruit crisp or crustless pumpkin pie.  “You just have to more creative.”  She makes her own flour blends and is grateful for the Bob’s Red Mill store.  The family tends a garden and orders food monthly from a co-op.  LaTray orders fish when eating out.  She drinks tea and water, but no coffee.  Her kids like to cook, and the whole experience has taught them how to fend for themselves.
