Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had heard about WBV about ten years ago from a doctor I had worked with. He swore by it as he was in his 60’s and used it to maintain high energy and his six pack. At that time, he owned a unit that cost about $5000. I am in my 50’s and work out at the very least two times a week. Over the last few years, I have had issues with lower back and hip pain. I changed my diet and did what I could to rehab, but found that very little was changing. About a month ago while traveling, I was able to try a WBV unit at a store and was blown away by the possibilities. After the trip, I started researching WBV and decided to purchase the Hurtle30. I am very glad that I did. Since I have begun using the unit, I have noticed considerable changes in my body. My body is more toned and my metabolism has definitely increased. I still continue my other workouts, but there is nothing like being able to jump on this thing in the morning or evening for 10 minutes and knowing for sure that I definitely got a work out. I still have pain, but as my core gets stronger the pain is decreased. Sure there are other ways to strengthen my core, but many are far more high impact and painful than WBV. With WBV, muscle groups that I could rarely engage with other methods are stimulated and strengthened in a very short period of time. This is like some kind of crazy workout hack that really works. There are standard exercises you can do like, planks, lunges, push-ups, dips, or simply standing or sitting on the unit, but you are not limited to those. In the manual it says, “Borrow health and fitness ideas from Chinese traditional culture like Kung Fu, Buddhism, Taoism, it advocates passive exercise which allow you to exercise indoor in a relatively static manner to get mind relaxed, pain and soreness relieved, fatigue swept away, inner circulation improved, then make you stronger and healthier.” Once I understood what that meant, that understanding changed my workouts to a more dynamic tension based style like in yoga and martial arts. For me that was the “ah ha” moment, and I doubt that I ever will be without one of these devices again. Add some weights and/or use the bands, and basically I can get an intense, but low impact Kung Fu like work out in ten minutes for the price of an annual gym membership. Priceless!
