Them Vibropad Things

[Longy]

Might be a question for the lasses like, but do they work? Lass in work reckons she's lost a couple of inches round her waste.

Thing is, you never see them in normal gyms, but seem to be in lasses gyms, although I've saw footballers use them to aid recovery from injuries.

IIRC there was an experiment that used two groups of pigs. One was held in a normal pen, one in a pen in which the floor slightly vibrated. Dunno how long it went on for but I'd imagine a number of days/weeks/months. At the end, the pigs who had been on the vibrating floor had less fat, more muscle and a higher bone density than the control group.

I'm sure the science behind it makes sense and will eventually reach that conclusion but standing on one for 20 min every couple of days probably does fuck all for you. Gan for a run.

We got one one our our rigs gym, Never seen anyone on it.

Really cant see what standing on a vibrating plate can do for you.

Tried it once, felt like a tit...never again

aren't you supposed to do certain positions etc on it rather than just stand on it and read the paper?

They make your muscles twitch constantly when you're on them (as long as you turn them up enough) so they must be doing something. No substitute for doing some proper exercise though.

Me mates mam actually bought one.

Yeah they do work. You'd be surprised. Popping up in most new gyms now.

Call me a sceptic but anything to with health/fitness, if it seems too good to be true it probably is.

This. However, my step mams sister was given one by the manufacturers and she swears by it.
