Vintage Vibes
When you imagine workouts in the 1950s, what’s one of the first things that pop into your mind? We’d bet all our Pixy Stix you thought about those silly fat jiggling machines people strapped themselves into while watching I Love Lucy instead of hitting the gym. They might have been popular, but they didn’t serve their purpose.
The good news is they can help restore bone density and disease-fighting cells, but they don’t lead to significant weight loss. Modern whole-body vibrating boards used during workouts have shown promising results in studies where participants gained muscle strength, lost fat, and lowered their blood pressure when using the boards during a workout, so maybe the belts were onto something weren’t quite there yet.
