The solo flex machine, you stand on and 10 minutes , is equal to lilfting weight. It tones your body.?

Question

This machine is suppose to tone your body as if lifting weights. Use it only 10 minutes a day and you are suppose to get toned as lifting weights. It is made by solo flex and cost $495.00. But does it work.

Answer 1

That is the theory at least. It isn't so much that you just stand on it. Rather, I think you are supposed to do deep knee bends and the like. The vibrations causes your muscles to fire in order to keep your balance. You can also sit on it and do abdominal exercises.

While I suspect that there is some additional muscular recruitment, I would doubt that it would do as much good as just lifting heavy weights. This concept is being sold under several different brand names at similar prices. You might check locally and see if there are any fitness equipment sales locations where you can try out the concept before spending any money. Don't get caught up on the hype though.
