Introducing a new, exciting fitness option now at Bella Forme!
Bella Forme utilizes whole body vibration as a valuable component of the client’s health and wellness regimen. Whole body vibration is a fitness sensation in Europe, utilized by world class athletes as well as astronauts looking to combat the effects of zero gravity. It is now available at Bella Forme.
We offer our clients a choice of two state of the art technologies, each of which deliver individualized exercise programs. They are the ProEllixe® Vibration Wellness m
achine
and the Fitvibe Excel Pro machine.
ProEllixe®
This is how it works. When a muscle fiber is stretched, it contracts by reflex (stretch reflex). By simply standingbarefoot on the machine, vibration is generated and sent through your body which passively stretches your muscles. This causes millions of muscle contractions which increases muscle tone and size. As muscle density increases, your metabolic rate goes up, as an increase in muscle mass requires more energy.
Because whole body vibration is a "passive" exercise, neither perspiration nor lactic acid is generated. What this means for you is no increase in your heart rate, no need for a shower after, and no achy muscles the following day!
Research has demonstrated that a 10 minute whole body vibration workout, barefoot but in the clothes you are wearing during your busy day, delivers the equivalent of an hour of weight training in a gym. However, unlike the time consuming health club workouts that concentrate on a specific muscle group, whole body vibration exercises muscles in the entire body.
The benefits of a whole body vibration exercise program are:
- Muscle toning.
- Increased lymphatic drainage and microcirculation which detoxifies and reduces congestion in your fat and cellulite, resulting in inches lost!
- Increased serotonin production which helps combat Seasonal Affected Disorders.
- Enhanced endorphin release generating that ‘feel good’ sensation which follows a traditional work out.
- Increased production of Growth Hormones and all of it's anti-aging benefits.
- Increased testosterone production, particularly helpful for women's sex drive.
- Decreased production of Serum Cortisol (the body's stress hormone.)
- Enhanced bone density and bone building as the exercise is weight bearing.
- Body reshaping.
The revolutionary whole body vibration therapy is also suitable for people with medical conditions including heart disease, MS, Osteoporosis and injuries that preclude more traditional high-impact cardiovascular exercise. As with any exercise program, the patient should be medically stable before starting vibration therapy at Bella Forme.
Fun, quick, effortless exercise with proven results!
