How about a simple but effective workout which takes only a few minutes using the latest vibration technology suitable for all ages?

It is now available at Fit Kit Studio in St Clements, Oxford, run by Diane Lodowski.

Studies claim the benefits include fat loss and an increase in muscle strength.

It is a tool in the fight against osteoporosis and an aid in injury rehabilitation.

The Big Waves Vibraxis has a rotary action engine which causes a plate to move from side to side vibrating the body at between 30 to 66 Mhz.

By holding simple positions, or exercising on the moving platform, muscles are challenged with subsequent increase in strength and core development.

The vibration also promotes improved tissue health with increased blood flow.

Movement further stimulates hormone production, increasing metabolism and reducing stress-related hormones, leading in turn to fat loss and weight reduction.

One of Vibraxis' greatest strengths is that because the vibration plate rocks from side-to-side, it is mimicking the natural hip movement used during walking.

This means head-shake is minimal, unlike other types of vibration machine, so the machine is safe and easy to use.

A typical training programme requires only ten minutes, three-to-four times per week, with very simple operator techniques to gain benefits.

Also at Fit Kit, tone up and lose inches on the circuit of eight toning tables. One hour on the toning tables is equivalent to seven hours of floor exercise, says Fit Kit.

Why not pop in for a tree trial and sample Fit Kit's relaxed and friendly environment — you have nothing to lose but inches!
