Rest!

Do you remember a few years a go when vibrating exercise equipment received press for improving stamina, blurred vision, building muscle and improving health? Well, it is with a great deal of sadness that I must report scientist at the Mayo Clinic have concluded that there is no evidence that whole body vibration provides and fitness benefits. I better cancel the orders TitanFit has placed (tongue firmly planted in cheek)

Manufacturers of vibrating platforms claim that training sessions of only a few minutes twice a week can produce measurable effects. How can this be? How can merely standing still while your body shakes be effective?

I must admit after completing workout like Fran or Linda my whole body does indeed shake, but that's another thing all together, I think.
