BRW Dec 14 2006 - Jan 10 2007: "Vibration Training will become the hot new fitness tool: Wobbling your way to health
may not sound appealing but that is how the vibration-training fad works. Users stand on a vibrating plate and perform exercises such as
squates and abdominal curls. The vibrations trigger rapid muscle contractions, which means a harder work-out than on a static surface. 10-15 mins
on a vibration machine is said to be worth an hour in a gym. Russian cosmonauts as well as Clint Eastwood, Madonna and the Chelsea soccer
team have used vibration training. Most popular machines cost more than $5000. But unlike many machines, there are scientific studies to support
their use. If expensive equipment is not your thing, try a humble bag of sand. The latest exercise trend in the US and United Kingdom imitates
building workers by lugging 18kg bags of sand for a specified distance."
