Vibration Machine

For the past fifty years, the fitness industry has been flooded with the latest and greatest products to seemingly accelerate weight loss, "toning", "sculpting" and "body shaping". Looking back over the years, some of these products seem totally outrageous. Take the 1960's vibrating belt for example. This machine guaranteed to "shake the fat away" and yet was quickly dismissed as an outright bogus product because it just didn't work! That's not to mention there was no scientific evidence supporting it's claims. I remember back in the 1990's the infamous machines that sent constant electrical impulses to contract muscles while you relaxed. Funnily enough, this technology didn't last long on the market as soon as it became common knowledge as to how ineffective this method was at assisting weight loss. Then of course we have a plethora of other "weight loss", "toning", "sculpting" and "body shaping" machines currently available, including abdominal machines, sled based machines, pilates machines, thigh/butt machines...the list goes on and on.
