People with sedentary jobs
who spend 8 hours per day sitting are more prone to chronic diseases, but the
health hazards associated with prolonged sitting can be reversed through daily
exercises.
Whole body vibration training is able to reverse
the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle and to enhance one’s overall
health and mood, so if you own a company and are interested in your employees’
wellbeing, you should consider investing in a professional body vibration
machine.
Sitting has damaging effects on the body
Despite the increasing number of gyms and gym
goers, obesity continues to be a serious problem in today’s society, one of the
culprits behind this issue being the lack of physical activity and the
sedentary nature of our jobs.
Obesity, diabetes, heart disease and high blood
pressure, stroke, muscle weakness, nerve damage caused by a poor posture and
depression triggered by increased stress levels are more likely to occur in
people who practice no form of physical activity or spend most of their time
sitting.
The human body was designed to interact with the
gravitational force and to perform its daily activities while standing, however
today most of our tasks are performed from a comfortable office chair. The lack
of exposure to gravity weakens the muscles and bones, impairs circulation,
favors the retention of fluids in legs and makes one more prone to back pain
and spine deformities.
Reverse the effects of a sedentary lifestyle with whole body vibration
Although classical strength and cardio exercises
can minimize the effects of prolonged sitting and reverse some of these health
issues, such activities require at least 1 free hour per day, for significant
results. Whole body vibration training on the other hand can provide the same
benefits like strength training, but requires less than 15 minutes per day.
A body vibration machine sends energy waves through
the body and forces the muscles to contract, this action stimulating the blood
and lymph circulation, strengthening the bones and improving the lubrication
and flexibility of joints.
When exercises on a whole body vibration training,
the load on muscles and bones increases, as the machine mimics the action of
the gravitational force on the human organism. Depending on the chosen
amplitude and frequency, the load can be lower or higher, and can go from 1G of
gravitational force to more than 15G.
This means that a body vibration machine can work
the muscles in a more efficient way and in a shorter time, so your employees
can train before starting the work, during the lunch break or before going
home, to relieve the tension from their body, reduce stress and enhance their
energy levels and mood.
