Vibration Exercise?? -

[jooge]

I saw an add in a local magazine last night and I cannot believe it! I had to share with y'all. The ad says...

"Are you still runnning or jogging? Why not try the whole body vibration exercise?"

No, they aren't kidding - they say that a 10 minute vibration workout equals 1 hour of running or jogging.

When are people going to learn there is no easy way out?

jooge

I think the vibrating belt, super duper power drink, and sauna belt should all come together and unite forces on the fitness industry. ahem.

Don't forget the "ab lounge" Debbie. Two words that should never be seen together in the same sentence. }(

Like this "health club" I drove past in Newark last week. It was called "Lyly's Fitness & Social Club." Huh? Which is it? Fitness or social?

HSN sells some gizmo where you lie down, put your heels on the gizmo (the size of a foot massager)and it vibrates.

One of those things, I thought, that would be of benefit to someone who gets NO exercise, or is grossly obese and can't even walk, or who has circulation problems...but I don't see the benefit for people who can otherwise exercise. (And I think it's almost false advertising to show it being used by someone who is in shape.)

I personally think the sauna suit burns more calories than anything else. (Walmart sells them pretty cheap,if anyone's interested)

Well, off to use my Thighmaster.......

And you can also use it to keep food warm!

I'm imagining someone sitting on the sofa in a sauna suit, with a sauna belt on, pedaling a flimsy pair of "bike" pedals, eating chips and bonbons. Maybe a vibration device hooked to all of it (though that might cause crumbs to fly!).
