We know that getting our bodies moving is essential for both our physical and mental health. Engaging our muscles, enhancing circulation and improving our balance is vital to staying well today 鈥 and tomorrow.

It鈥檚 a message the Okanagan鈥檚 Laura Pelletier has embraced and shared for more than a decade.

After sustaining a serious injury 14 years ago, Pelletier had gained weight and was taking multiple medications for challenges from conditions including fibromyalgia and arthritis. Learning about the possibilities of , 鈥淚 agreed to try it for a month and it changed my life,鈥 says Pelletier, Certified Natural Health Consultant, Whole Body Vibration Trainer, owner of Kwikfit Canada Ltd.

While exercising for an hour at a time was impossible with Pelletier鈥檚 conditions, the passive exercise let her achieve similar results in just 10 minutes.

鈥淚 didn鈥檛 believe it until I actually tried it myself,鈥 she says.

Here鈥檚 how it works

With whole-body vibration equipment, an oscillating base simulates walking for the body, but super-fast and with little or no impact. Muscles respond to these oscillations, which shift the weight from side to side at speeds set by the user. When weight shifts to one side, all the muscles on the other side contract to restore your balance and equilibrium, Pelletier explains. Muscles react multiple times per second, and as oscillations accelerate, your body feels like it weighs more and responds by working against a greater load of gravity.

For older users, benefits can come from simply standing on the equipment, and letting the vibration boost circulation and balance.

For others, building the equipment into your workout adds a challenging element to your fitness routine 鈥 use it as the base for your push-ups or lunges, with the vibration engaging your core muscles for extra impact.
