Know anyone who's done cardio and never lost weight?

Time To Try A Vibration Plate

     I use to own a gym and for years I would see people run their hearts out on the treadmill. Often those struggling with weight would come to me for advice. We'd go through the standard dietary changes needed and the need to add some strength training to their routine.
     For most women you might as well have asked them to have a sex change as they were convinced that lifting a weight would immediately have them looking like a female body builder??? I would advice them that after time their body would adapt to the running and burn less calories. Meaning they would have to run longer and harder to burn fat. Of course it doesn't help if they were in the gym running so they could go out partying later. You can't compete with what you eat! 
     Overtime I would see the cardio only folks continue to gain weight year after year. A couple years ago I ran across some studies regarding the use of vibration plates originally designed to strengthen cosmonauts bones and muscles. Recently companies began using this technology to create more modern versions of these vibration plates. The vibrations and oscillation of the plates causes the body to use all three types of muscle fibers. Making the body flex hundreds of times a minute without really noticing it. This Kinetic energy expenditure is tremendous. Almost 4 times that of running. 
   

   You might burn on average 11 calories a minute jogging and 47 a minute on the vibration plate. So a 10 minute workout on the vibration plate would take you about 40 on the treadmill. Most people who are overweight also have bad knees and hips from being overweight. So they can never reach a cardio output running or walking to get the weight down. So they go to Outback and eat their sorrows away...
     I've seen some remarkably fast result in my own personal physique adding the vibration plate to my workout. We use RED LIGHT, PEMF, and the VIBRATION PLATE, as a great combo for weight loss and super fast muscle recovery after exercise. For more information you can visit us at Ancient Wellness in Va.

A new study shows that obese women who followed a weight loss diet and regularly used the vibration plate machines were more successful at long-term weight loss and losing hard-to-trim belly fat than those who combined dieting with a more conventional exercise routine.

In an online article from the Mayo Clinic. 

Whole-body vibration can offer some fitness and health benefits.
With whole-body vibration, you stand, sit or lie on a machine with a vibrating platform. As the machine vibrates, it transmits energy to your body, forcing your muscles to contract and relax dozens of times each second.

Advocates say that as little as 15 minutes a day of whole-body vibration three times a week may aid weight loss, burn fat, improve flexibility, enhance blood flow, reduce muscle soreness after exercise, build strength and decrease the stress hormone cortisol.
Some research does show that whole-body vibration may help improve muscle strength and that it may help with weight loss when you also cut back on calories.
Whole-body vibration may also have a role beyond sports and fitness. Some research shows that whole-body vibration, when performed correctly and under medical supervision when needed, can:

• Reduce back pain
• Improve strength and balance in older adults
• Reduce bone loss

Still, if you want to lose weight and improve fitness, enjoy a healthy diet and include physical activity in your daily routine. If you choose whole-body vibration, remember to do aerobic and strength training activities as well.
