Galileo

So what is body vibration training? Body Vibration Training was developed in Russia by a team of Doctors and Olympic Trainers with the aim of applying vibration to the body to improve stretching, strength, power and endurance. What are the benefits of Galileo vibration training? It can increase muscle strength as 97% of all muscle fibres in all muscle groups involved are activated. It can reduce pain due to increased blood circulation, and extra nerve stimulation. It can improved flexibility as blood circulation is increased and muscles are warmed. It can improved coordination since all receptors in the body are stimulated simultaneously. Scientific research has shown that bone density increases after training on the Galileo. Combined with stronger muscles and improved sense of balance it contributes significantly against the effects of osteoporosis and the risk of falling for the elderly. Does it help you lose weight? Increase in muscle mass will increase the basal metabolic rate allowing more calories to be burned by the body.
