Exercise tools are, therefore, extremely useful for those who are either overweight, or those that have experienced physical conditions that prevent them from engaging in high-impact exercises. Those who have suffered with any sort of accident or illness will certainly find vibration plates to be extremely useful nicely. Not only are they going to be used to help those people who are struggling with physical problems keep in shape, however they can be used for therapeutic purposes or even for rehabilitation and wasted or injured muscles. There are many uses with the exercise equipment effectively, given that the settings are adjustable.

-Frequency Speeds and Settings. Make sure the machine you buy has variable frequency speeds. Did you already know that slower frequency vibrations are good for weightloss and circulation, whilst high frequency vibrations help to tone one’s body. If you purchase a machine with a variety of workouts you’ll get a comprehensive, across workout.

These clever machines are hailed as the subsequent generation of home fitness equipment, due to their in order to deliver impressive, tangible results in just a brief space of time. The user stands or sits the actual plate and vibrations make the cells inside the body for being stimulated, just as they may be during normal exercise. The real revelation is the plates can certainly increase levels of cell stimulation to levels you’ll only normally achieve through really intensive workouts. This signifies that a 60 minute intensive regime may be replaced by an easy 10 minute workout on the Vibration Plate as well as the results are the identical, if not better.

In fact, a 10 minute workout using the plate would need a 60 minute workout if stood on solid ground. Vibration plates not merely effective at shaping up the physique in reality, vibration training can even help to cut back cellulite, build bone density and even promote better circulation. If you might be apprehensive about buying a vibration plate, perhaps on account of your age or physical ability, it can be worth noting until this device is suitable for. You are capable of doing any variety of exercise on them, hence even simple stretches will deliver results.

Imagine doing yoga stretches or an aerobic routine whilst standing your vibrating platform and you’ll get the point. You therefore have to use your initiative somewhat or you will not really get anything out within your workout. The CF1250 is great to the beginner because it’s supplied using a DVD which provides you an introduction to solution and shows you quite a few exercises in order to as component to your routine. This was a tremendous help plus it meant I didn’t waste valuable time wanting to figure out easy methods to use the plate correctly.

While doing some posting on a few forums that I am a member of, I
was reading posts about people trying to lose weight and some of the
ladies who were saying they still needed to lose 10-20 pounds look so
skinny right now they look like they are skeletons!

So why is
America so obsessed about their weight? Could it be because of all the
commercials, MTV, the skinny stars and sports fanatics who are
constantly bombarding us with their idea of an attractive person? The tv
or movie commercials that say if you are not a size 4 you are
overweight!

I was watching The Devil Loves Prada the other night
and was so upset when they told the secretary that she was a pig at a
size 4! I couldn’t imagine being in a size 4, let alone being told I
needed to lose weight to be in a size 0 in order to look good! Come on!

Why are we so obsessed?

Why can’t we love ourselves for ourselves?

Below is what I posted in reply to someone asking for diet tips etc:

I
too am doing a “healthy living lifestyle” change…I have found for
myself if I focus on losing weight I want to eat more items that are bad
for me. I refuse to tell myself I am losing weight…I don’t need to
lose weight I just need to become healthier and tone up, sure there may
be a few pounds I could lose BUT that should not be the main focus,
becoming healthy should be.

What I have been doing, and this is
for me as it works for me, is eating more raw fruits and vegetables,
have a salad already made up as during the day I reach for something
quick and easy to eat since I am working or chasing my 4 yr old around
that I don’t want to take the time to cook for myself.

I also have added more water to my diet, when I get hungry and its not meal or snack time I reach for the water.

Another
thing I have been doing is finding DVD’s that I enjoy some of you may
laugh at the one I do that I just find so much fun to do and the time
just melts away (no pun intended lol) I bought Carmen Electra’s Strip
Tease aerobics…I know but you know what it is so much fun! I also vary
it with Turbo Jam and Yoga Booty Ballet all of them are fun and have
great music that keeps me going.

Cutting out the real sugars I
can’t do as far as using items like Splenda etc because I don’t feel
they are safe, so I just cut down on how much real sugar I use in my
coffee which I have also cut back from 2 pots, yep 2 pots a day, to 2
cups a day which is a feat in and of itself for me a coffee addict.

Everyone says to stop eating when you are not hungry,
that's simple if you have the will power or are not using food to deal
with other issues as I have been doing since my MIL died.

I was
anorexic and bulimic once, sorry about the sp, and I know all about
eating and emotional disorders. If you look at food as either the enemy
or a comfort food you need to see your doctor about those issues so you
can get those resolved before you start any diet...trust me I have been
on both sides: so skinny I looked like I was dying, I was...and being
overweight it was affecting my entire health and mental well being and
for me both sides I was dealing with emotional problems and the only way
I felt in control was with food.

Good luck to those who are
trying to lose weight, for me this year my goal is healthy living! I did
this once 10 years ago, just watched what I ate and exercised 5 days
out of 7 and lost 30 pounds while hubby was in Korea. So I know I can do
it.

Besides you need to be at a healthy weight and not a skinny
minny...who needs to look like a model or those ladies on tv who
everyone loves and wants to be like.

If you are happy with the way
you look or know your goal weight so you can feel better is to only
lose 10 pounds then go for the 10 pounds and not the 20 pounds to fit
societies image...sorry this is a hot topic for me, I have two nieces
right now that are so thin they would blow away if the wind picks up and
they are starving themselves because they want to look like the stars
or sports people they know when I look at them all I see is what I did
to myself and my body and how many of my health issue right now stem
from not loving myself for me.

So what if you weigh 145 are you in
good shape? Do you love what you see? If not you need to explore
whether it is really for health reasons or emotional reasons why you
want to lose weight...

I am off my soapbox now but I just wanted to wish all of you good health and let you know some of the things I do 🙂

Building your own home gym can help save you a lot of time, money and frustration. What you need to know is your desire fitness goal which will help you get the right equipment that will help you reach your results ultimately. This article provides things you need to know when purchasing the right gym equipment for your home.

It is very important to realize your fitness goal when considering buying home gym equipment. After you know what your goal is, it will be much easier for you to decide the right equipment that will help you reach that results. No single person has the same goals. Some want to lose extra weight or get rid of excess fat or stay healthy or build muscle mass. If your fitness goal is to build your muscle mass, one of the best equipment that does the trick is strength-training benches. Normally, the benches come with everything you need to build yourself a nice muscle mass. Some type of benches can be adjusted to allow you to work on both entire upper body and lower body. There are, however, some people whose fitness goal is nothing to do with weight loss or fat burning or bodybuilding. Rather, some want to gain more weight. Thus, when buying gym equipment for your home, it is very important to realize your fitness goal and your ultimate results.

You may want to consider buying a basic home gym and fitness DVD set, to start your fitness journey. You may find that some DVD sets not only offer workout DVDs but also fitness equipment, workout guide, diet plan and exercise chart as well. The advantage of these type of DVD set is you are provided with equipment that you can use along with it. If you are serious about staying fit, you may need to consider buying a full home fitness system which offers DVDs, paper guides and fitness accessories such as med balls, straps and fitness mats. They may come with special gadgets such as heart rate monitor or pedometer to help you keep track of your health.

Your home space and your existing health problems need to be taken into consideration when considering buying gym equipment. It is not a good idea to find out later that the equipment you just purchased does not fit your home or may be harmful to your health. Thus, if you have pending health issues, do consult with your doctor in advance of buying any gym equipment.

You will find that some home gym equipment are costly. The good news is you can find products with deep discounts easily online. All you have to do is hop over several online stores to do a comparison of different equipment and prices. It is a good idea to check product reviews from trusted sources before pulling your credit card out from your wallet.

No matter what your fitness goal is, to achieve that result, you need the right gym equipment, strong commitment and actionable workout schedule. There is no point to find out later that the equipment you just purchased is not suitable for your health conditions or too big for your home space.

Good times. You can actually do a workout with just a DVD and learn sensual Latin American movements too, with Core Rhythms (I like to call it La Vida Latina). Or if you prefer to get down and flirty, you just need to get a pole, the DVD and you are all set for the Flirty Girl Fitness program. These two are neck-and neck in popularity today. Both programs promise body transformation, weight loss, firming up, and empowerment. Both programs burn fat and work the difficult core muscles–abdomen, legs, hips and buttocks.

The Core Rhythms workout was designed by two Latin American dance champions. It is endorsed Dancing with the Stars Len Goodman. There is a beginners and advanced program. They use Latin American moves that are sensual and strenuous, working the core hard to the tune of upbeat music. Workout selections range from 15 minute power boosters to a 45 minute total exercise routine.

Users of Core Rhythms actually love the program because they lose weight and learn dance moves, too. It does not hurt that Latin American dance is very sensual and fun to do. It is also not a walk in the park. The core muscles are worked hard, the steps are not always easy. They like it anyway. The Core Rhythms system costs $19.99 for each DVD program and there is a bonus video on ones initial order. There is also a 30-day money back guarantee. They recommend at least 15 60 minutes workout per day.

Then there is the Flirty Girl Fitness Program which uses fast paced music and sexy exercises like pole and chair dancing. Many women feel confident with Flirty Girl but also admit the exercises are not easy to do. Flirty Girl Fitness offers poles for sale at discount prices. On the upside, some customers have made businesses of it, setting up gyms and classes of their own. The exercises are directed at the abdomen, obliques, buttocks, hips, thighs and arms. For $9.99 you get a teaser DVD, and the remainder cost $19.99 each.

Reviews of both programs are generally positive. They both have excellent cardiovascular workouts and the come on of Latin American dance moves or pole and chair dances are a break from the usual aerobics. So which is better? It depends on what you would rather do. Either way, go for it, and enjoy the adrenalin rush.
