Proellixe Ten Minute Whole Body Vibration Workouts
Vibration workout machines are quickly becoming known in the fitness and medical industries for all of the health benefits the client receives just by using the machine a minimum of three times a week for ten minutes a day. Forget “no pain, no gain.” These machines make it possible for you to strengthen, slim, and energize without pain—or sweat—or strain.
Vibration workouts are being used by professional hockey and football players, actors and actresses including Madonna, Jennifer Lopez and Clint Eastwood, and more and more ordinary people across

~ Increased production of Growth Hormones and all of its anti-aging benefits.
~ Increased testosterone production, particularly helpful for women's sex drive.
~ Decreased production of Serum Cortisol (the body's stress hormone.)

HOW PROELLIXE VIBRATION WORKS
The science behind Proellixe Vibration workouts has been developed principally in the former Soviet Union, Italy and the United States. Vibration training was used first in the Soviet Union 30 years ago in secret programs for athletes and ballet dancers. Dr. Carmelo Bosco in Italy extended the Soviet science and developed the concept of whole-body vibration, as used on the Proellixe machine. NASA, the United States space agency, conducted research with astronauts to prove the benefits of whole body vibration.
When you stand on the vibration platform of the Proellixe machine and start the machine, the platform transmits rapid but very small vibrations upward through your body. Your muscles automatically respond to these vibrations with resistance, and the result is up to two hours of ordinary-workout muscle toning in just ten minutes of Proellixe workout.
Specific rates of vibration are available on the Proellixe machine for each program Proellixe delivers pre-packaged. These rates have been developed by close scientific study of the results of using the machine in test subjects. The Proellixe programs are scientifically-advanced means of toning and shaping the body to promote youthfulness and wellness.
THE PROELLIXE - TECHNOLOGY
Proellixe uses a patented technology call VibroRollage. When a muscle fiber is stretched, it contracts by reflex (stretch reflex). By simply standing barefoot on the machine, vibration is generated and sent through your body, which passively stretches your muscles. This causes millions of muscle contractions, which increases muscle tone and size. As muscle density increases, your metabolic rate goes up, as an increase in muscle mass requires more energy.
Because whole body vibration is a "passive" exercise, neither perspiration nor lactic acid is generated. What this means for you is no increase in your heart rate, no need for a shower after, and no achy muscles the following day!

ABOUT WHOLE-BODY VIBRATION (WBV) EXERCISE MACHINES
Clients start by placing their feet on either side of the platform. Each time the right leg is accelerated upward (push-phase), the left leg is accelerated downward (slack-phase). At the same time, the right leg is subjected to flexion, while the left leg undergoes extension. As a consequence, the pelvis is rotated upward on the right side, and downward on the left, which elicits flexion in the vertebral column.
During the passive extension of the leg, the flexor muscles are activated, and during flexion, the extensors are activated. Likewise, repetitive rotation of the pelvis elicits alternating activation of the hip adductors and abductors of the iliopsoas muscles and the erector spinae muscles. There are hardly any muscles that are not activated during vibration exercise.
Research is confirming that WBV stimulates muscle spindles and initiates muscle contractions. WBV elicits muscular activity and thus is a form of exercise rather than passive vibration.
Originally developed for the space program to prevent bone density changes in astronauts, studies show a positive correlation between WBV and increase in peek bone density. Other studies cite improvement in lumbosacral proprioception, strength, power and velocity.

Detoxification
“The best way to get rid of heavy metals and pesticide residues? The infrared saunas. It has been known for decades that sweating is a wonderful way to get rid of stored chemicals, including heavy metals. In fact, sauna is one of the detoxification procedures used in the environmental units in Dallas (Dr. William Rea) and North Charleston (Dr. Allan Lieberman) where the sickest of folks go to heal. But many people, myself included, never could tolerate a sauna. We felt weak, sick, fast heart rate, faint, dizzy, headachy, or just miserable. Thanks to improved technology, the infrared sauna is tolerated much better, because it uses a heat energy that penetrates the tissues better, allowing an overall lower temperature to be used.” - Dr.Sherry Rodgers-Detoxify or Die
Scientific analysis shows infrared heat induced sweat contains 5-6 times more toxins, fat and impurities than normal sweat. Relax in a Far North Wellness infrared sauna and enjoy its unsurpassed ability to eliminate stored waste (metabolic wastes, environmental toxins, city pollution, fat, cholesterol, heavy metals, alcohol, nicotine - source: Zane R. Gard, MD & Erma J. Brown, BSN, PhN TLfDP, October 1992). One U.S. study has indicated that people using a conventional sauna were eliminating 95-97% water in their sweat. Those using an infra-red sauna, however, were found to be eliminating only 80-85% water, while the remaining 15-20% was mostly composed of undesirable elements such as sodium, fat soluble toxins, sulfuric acid, uric acid, toxic heavy metals, ammonia, and cholesterol.
Weight Control
Our body expends energy to produce sweat (1g sweat requires 0.586 kcal) meaning your body can safely burn up to 300 calories in just one 30-minute session; with sweat loss equivalent to running 10-15km. While this weight can be regained through re-hydration, the calories burned will not. A Far North Wellness infrared sauna treatment can also help to raise your basal metabolic rate meaning you will burn calories at an elevated rate for hours after your session has finished. This can translate to a benefit of up to 800 calories from a single session. At 42 degrees Celsius, body fat becomes water soluble and the body can sweat out fats, toxins, and heavy metals such as lead, zinc, nickel and mercury.
It can also lead to weight loss through:
• Effectively reducing heavy metals which have been directly related to metabolic imbalances in the body causing poor digestion and weight gain.
• It decreases fat stored (lipophilic) toxins. Often weight loss cannot be accomplished unless these toxins are first removed.
This benefit was recognized in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association as long ago as August 1981: "Many of us who run do so to place a demand on our cardiovascular system, not to build big leg muscles. Regular use of a Sauna imparts a similar stress on the cardiovascular system, and its regular use may be as effective, a means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning of calories, as regular exercise."
Pain Relief
In an infrared sauna, the deep heat helps blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries. Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen rich blood to oxygen depleted muscles, so they recover faster. Worldwide, radiant heat therapy is widely used to treat patients suffering from many forms of arthritis. Far infrared therapy has been effective in providing pain relief to those suffering from back pain, sprains, strains, bursitis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, headache, and many other muscular-skeletal ailments. Much of the stiffness and soreness that comes with aging is reduced or eliminated in the far infrared saunas.
