Sit on A Vibrator to Get Fit? Say What?!
Now, I see a whole bunch of perverts looking over at their girlfriend or wife and I can see the mouse running on the wheel in your brain. We aren’t talking about a vibrator in the sense of a sex toy, gentlemen. At ease. We aren’t looking for you to star in your own homemade porno. What we are talking about today is something called whole-body vibration (WBV). A study was just published that brings up some interesting data that shows sitting, lying, or standing on a device that vibrates can be considered a form of exercise. I can sense a bunch of questions coming on, so let’s get into it.
Better than your girlfriend’s ‘magic bullet’ vibrator
Ok, I couldn’t help myself. Since your mind is already in the gutter, I figured we’d stick with the image to keep your mind focused and on track. So, here’s the deal. Remember those old-school devices that people (more specifically, women) stood on and it shook and vibrated while against their butt, hip, or stomach and it was supposed to flatten them out? Or even more recently than that, products that were considered vibration exercise machines where you stood on the platform and the base would vibrate and you were supposed to exercise while this was happening and it “supposedly” activated more muscle fibers? All of these machines and devices became the laughing stock of the fitness equipment market and were basically shunned away because they were found to not be effective in maintaining or building muscle while dropping body fat. So, in the trash they went.
Has science backpedaled and now all of a sudden, those devices are found to truly be useful? It appears that way, but I’m still not so sure I’m completely sold on this idea.
