Review of Bodi-Tek Power Vibration Trainer

Flexibar - A Great Fitness Product At A Faction of the Price

Advantages: Ease of Use, No Frills Effectiveness
Disadvantages: None

I first viewed the flexibar on a home shopping channel with great scepticism. It's a long bar with a padded grip in the middle and 2 counterweights on each end. You swing it, it vibrates, and er...and that's it. Don't let the apparent ease of usage fool you though. The Flexibar employs the same technology used in the vibration plates found in gyms. Here is the science bit from the website: As you swing the bar (and it can take several tries until ...
...your body which pushes and pulls the muscles out of equilibrium; a process known as the Tonic Stretch Reflex. During this contraction, signals are passed continuously from the muscles to the brain and back again, via the nervous system. These signals tell the muscles they are being pushed away from their centre and they must automatically contract to bring themselves back. The Flexibar works the body's core muscles and the contractions continuously ...

Review of Flexi-Sports Flexi-Bar

To be used in private!

Advantages: Works your muscles harder whilst feeling quite relaxing and addictive.
Disadvantages: Your wobbly bits shake from head to toe and you sound like a robot!

I have been using this machine for the past two weeks. I had previously used one at my local gym but the wait to get on the machine could be lengthy as it has proved so popular with people of all ages. The one I now have at home seems to be almost as powerful as the more expensive model in the gym and I can use it when I want. It has proved useful for getting more from exercises such as sit-ups and press-ups as the constant vibration really makes ...
...makes your muscles work harder. People I know who have used the machine for a few months believe their muscle tone to be improving! I have also found my recovery to be better after a long run if I use the machine whilst doing stretches. The reason I suggest using the machine in private is that many of the stretches recommended require you to get into quite embarrassing positions with your bottom pushed outwards or skywards, your teeth chatter due ...

Review of Crazy Fit Vibration Massage Plate Exercise Machine

Shake shake shake

Advantages: great for toning up
Disadvantages: can get a little boring

Like I mentioned in my previous reviews, I really love working out. I don’t think that there is something on earth that can really make you liberate yourself to your every sense and be rewarded with the high and restful feeling after a particular tough workout. This being said, i have to admit that sometimes life is really too busy for me to really be able to indulge in some energetic, time-consuming workouts. That is why I bought the Power Plate ...
...particular machine, she told me that this is the miraculous machine where you just have to stand on it and let the machine do all the work. Of course, I belong to the old school where exercise means sweating and tiring myself till I drop dead, and I was hence quite skeptic about it. But I went over to her place to give the machine a try, and boy, I was shocked! For those who are not familiar with it, the Power Plate is a vibrating machine. You stand ...

Review of Crazy Fitness Massager Vibration Power Plate

Crazy fit is Crazy good!

Advantages: Dont break a sweat, can be used for all ages, quiet, lose inches!
Disadvantages: Cant drink a coffee while your on it!

I live with my parents who have varying degrees of fitness and muscle tone. After visiting an old friend who suffers from severe problems with his circulation this machine is all my dad could talk about. His friend who is in his late 60’s was at the point of loosing his feet if he did not do something to improve his circulation. Being a very large man with not so good health anyway, normal exercise is not something he can comfortably do. Even a simple ...
...So he used this machine and within a few weeks has improved his circulation so well that he is no longer at risk of losing his feet! He even lost weight too! My dad was very excited about this because he has a similar problem. Two years ago my father was very ill and as a result of this has lost part of one lung. His breathing is very laboured and his blood oxygen levels are at the point and becoming damaging to his organs. This machine has changed ...
