Whole Body Vibration machine
A full body vibration machine uses vibrating plates to make your muscles contract and relax multiple times as you stand, sit or lie on the machine in various poses and positions to impact certain parts of the body. This machine will not only help to tone your muscles but will also help with any fat burning and also increases your circulation. Because the machine is contracting your muscles many times per second it makes you feel like you have been working out at high intensity when you haven’t even moved. If you are struggling to find a machine that targets your whole body then there are sites that will break down each machine type and the cost to find you the best one on the market.
Body Toning Belt
Body toning belts will use a safe electric current directed to the preferred muscle and contract and relax that muscle with each pulse to help tone the muscle. The good thing about the toning belt is it can be used on most parts of the body as it just wraps around the part you want to tone to be more direct. It has interchangeable pads also which help to distribute the charge, so you can change the size of the pad to be more direct in some places. Using the toning belt will also help with blood circulation on the parts you use it on.
Exercises
There are a few exercises you can do from home just using your own body weight. The first exercise you can do is the press up which can be a full press up or a ¾ press up depending on how comfortable you are at doing them. Doing the press up will help with toning your arms, shoulders, and chest. The next exercise would be the Tricep dip, this again requires no weights but you will need to be able to use the edge of low surfaces like a sofa or coffee table, so make sure you have enough room, this will work just your triceps and parts of your shoulders. The other main one which will be for toning your abs is situps, this will be unweighted as well which makes it easier to do from home and you will need a clear bit of floor to be able to do these exercises. There are many exercises you can do from home but these are the main ones that are easiest to do. There are lots of sites out there which can show you the best techniques for these and also give you other exercises to do.
Getting fit and toning up at home is great for those that can’t afford a gym membership or just don’t like the gym. Working out from home will help keep you fit and also make it easier to fit around your home life as you have to find less time to work out at home as opposed to going to the gym. With these tips then you will be well underway to getting toned up and fit while going about your everyday life.
