Why all offices should own a whole body vibration machine

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.
