Before I answer that question, I’ll answer the first question that is most likely popping into your head right now – what exactly is a vibration machine and how does it work?

My research indicates that vibration machines allow the user to stand on a platform and perform various “exercises” while the machine does what its name suggests – vibrates.

The machine is designed to vibrate at a variety of frequencies and it is these vibrations which are believed to cause a person’s muscles to contract and react. Manufacturers of vibration machines claim these vibrations allow your muscles to be used more effectively than if you were to simply do the exercises on stable ground.

Studies can be found which have shown that vibration machines can apparently reduce cellulite, decrease cortisol production and increase bone density amongst “other wonderful benefits”, however there is no hard and fast evidence that proves they actually improve these conditions.

Most people will hear about vibration machines and form the opinion that they are just another piece of exercise equipment that will quickly gather dust along with all the other exercise equipment that they have been seduced into buying due to promises of “amazing results”.

So, do they work?

The short answer is – we’ll let you be the judge. Like many things in life, if you stick to it and work hard, your dedication will pay off in dividends. Therefore, if you use your vibration machine regularly, in conjunction with practicing healthy eating habits, it will work.

Nothing beats proper exercise, it gets the influx of oxygen into the lungs, gets the heart pumping blood, nutrients and oxygen around the body and improves muscle tone.

This releases amazing endorphins, which amongst other things are fantastic mood stabilizers and make you feel good. Remember, the only way to get rid of fat is to oxidize it, in other words – burn it off with oxygen! A vibration machine won’t do this!

The question you have to ask yourself when considering a vibration machine is this – do you want to fork out the money for a machine that essentially won’t give you a better result than if you worked that little bit harder doing your regular exercise? Remember back in the cavemen days, there were no gyms or vibration machines – they just walked or ran around to grab their food.

The choice is yours!

Our now very famous BB Superstar, Celise is married! After losing 22kg on the Betty Baxter program almost a year ago, Celise’s confidence improved dramatically and to top it all off her long term boyfriend proposed! She has since been madly preparing for the big day.

On the 20^th June, Celise married Tyson Cowie at the Glades Golf Club at Robina in Queensland.

‘The day was absolutely amazing – it rained on and off all morning, and then the clouds cleared and the sun came out so that we could have our ceremony outside as planned. We also managed to get all the family/friends shots outside before the rain came back – it then cleared again for us to be able to go out on the golf buggies and get some sunset shots. It was the best day ever!’

We think the permanent grin on Celise’s face tells it all!

Congratulations Celise! We wish you all the happiness in your newly married life.

So will we be hearing the pitter patter of little feet running around soon…..?
