Vibration Therapy

Whole body vibration is causing a sensation across the country.  If you haven’t taken advantage of this healing and fitness training piece of equipment (it looks like a doctor’s scale), now is the time to give it a try.  Whether you are a seasoned athlete, new to exercise, or rehabiliating from an injury, whole body vibration can help you get there faster. 

This therapy provides health benefits for all fitness levels, but is especially useful to athletes for that extra competitve edge and for those wanting to tone up and strengthen their body. 

10 minutes of standing or sitting on the machine can improve, strength, endurance, muscle tone, balance, stability and mental outlook, not to mention increasing bone mineral for those in the early stages of osteopenia. 

When used in conjuction with resistance training and Zumba, whole body vibration can be a huge benefit to you.  Come try it at Fast and Fit - we’ve had one for several years and our ladies love it.
