Hola!
Can I just say . . . . COME ON SPRING BREAK!!!!!
Whew. I feel better.
So last week I was watching Good Morning America and they featured a vibration machine that is for weight loss. For real. I could barely watch through the tears running down my face I was laughing so hard.
Back in the day I can remember my mom and aunt going to a gym for ladies called "Figure World" and it had a machine that jiggled you all over much like this new-fangled contraption.
So for credit this week go read this article and give me your opinion of this "new" idea of vibration machines. Will they work? If you lose weight from this machine will it last? Can I eat pizza while I'm using it?
And while you're at it, go Google and see if you can find a picture of the old-timey ones with the belt you wrapped around you.
Talk to me . . .

Okay now for my opinion on the "new" vibration Machine, IT WILL NOT HELP YOU LOOSE WEIGHT, mark my words! On the other hand I do think you can eat pizza while you are using it, but I think you would have a slight problem with the "gripping" of your pizza. Anyways, that is my opinion.

It is important to realize that motion in the ocean is weight loss..
Sadly, unless you keep doing it or remain active, all the weight will come back...
My grandmother used those original vibra-belts. Lol....
they arent much like the ones used today, which actively move your body as you move....
(less likely to need a hip replacement from these)
Brittany Diaz !st period
Umm... It looks like maybe it could work, but I really don't think it would. You definitely couldn't just sit there and shake and hope you lose weight, but it might help in conjunction with other training. I don't think the weight would stay off very well, and eating pizza would probably cancel it out. I'm wary of this and I definitely wouldn't buy one.
-Tobin, 1st
UMMMM....ok this idea that these people came up with is STUPID! Why in the world would anybody want a vibrating machine that supposedly causes weight loss? If you wanna vibrate and loose weight get up and go do some exercise,this machine just gives people another reason to lay around and be lazy and just hop on this machine when they feel the need to exercise. I think its dumb and a waste of time and money. TUTT-1st
this thing looks like it wouldnt do much for me the pizza will though. i think ill stick to liftin weights and running that way i know i will have results #oldfashionway
and speaking of old fashion heres the old way of weight lose

GIRrL... i would be the one to stay up and watch glee while making all my jelly-roles jiggle on this contraption. I think its a great idea... this would help the extreamly obese people to loose some pounds so they can be able to get up and work out. I think they could add to it, you know like a electrical shock system, for massage and prevention of overeating. ha i would buy this machine if i had the time... ;)
- Victor 1st
my opinion to this vibration machines is, they is some pathetic machines. I dont think it will help you loose weight but it would help you loose money on them. And no you cant eat pizza while using one of them. ppsssshhh i think they is some crazy people who ever design does machines.
and here is one of some old ones that i found

HM 1ST PERIOD
i think the machine is for lazzy people that dont want to do real exercise. If you were serious about your fitness you would be out doing real exercise and not try to cut corners. I dont know if it works or not but it would mean that i would have to try it first. I think you could eat pizza while you use it. You can just sit on the vibrating thing and be eating your pizza so its possible.
And heres a link to apicture of a bunch of ladies using a belt vibrating machine.

Bonifilio Soto 4th
The principle of this machine's design is that vibration stimulates more fibers in the muscle during exercise and therefore makes the muscle stronger. This has been confirmed through research over the last decade. However it is not effective for weight loss. Notice there were no "fluffy" people using it.

Blake 4th
well in my opinion this vibrating machine seems like it wont workk..i think that if you want to loose weight you have to make an effort not just step on that machine an maqgically loose weight
...if it was that easy everyone would be fit
Norma 5th
i would so use this if it worked, but i dont know if it will. And paying almost $10,000 is ridiculous! Like really just go running come on people! Its not calling working out so you can be lazy!!!
Elizabeth Turner
5th Period
I don't think they would be a good idea because it would take forever to loose or start loosing any weight. I think normal excersice such as runnin could help you better.You wouldn't be able to do much in this machine either.
Eric-7th
I would have to see it to belive it the idea of you just sitting or standing there while you vibrate and lose weight is just to good to be true.
Raul 7th
This machine is really weird. I don't think it works and I probably would not try it at all...lol
Will they work? Doesn't sound so appealing to me, I probably would not use it.
If you lose weight from this machine will it last? I don't think so.
Can I eat pizza while I'm using it. I'm sure you could but you would probably go to the bathroom afterwards. I'm sure cheeze pizza doesn't go good with rumbling stomachs.
~Matthew DeWard Period 7
uh...what?-tries not to say anything inappropriate-
this is so funny...your pranking us right this thing should not be real. how does the vibrating even do anything?its so ridicoulous its sad.although i wish i could get payed to make up stupid ideas that gullible people will buy or shopholics will see in infomercials.
id be so rich :3
"old fashioned healthy living and raw food " <----favorite qoute from the site.i dont think raw food is considered healthy unless your eating japanese
So this vibration thing...it seems legit but I would almost consider it cheating. It's not really something that I would be interested in because it seems too easy, but I'm sure that is the appeal they're trying to make.
Gage Green-7
HAHAHA! Do people really use these? Exercising is waaaay less embarrassing than sitting/standing on a shaky machine.. But whatever floats your boat.
I dont think the results would last but it says it's "said to stimulate superior muscle-activation compared to conventional training, therefore less time may be required to work muscle groups completely". So I guess it could help with rehabilitation? But I'm not so sure about some super weightloss thing.
And besides, it says that having a healthy life and eating well help. But doesn't that help without using the vibration machine? Ha
-Katherine :) 7th
I honestly think that the vibration machine is just kind of lame. I think that true workouts are more beneficial. This just makes us seem lazy by letting the weight "vibrate" off of your body. I think that true work should actually be done in order to lose weight and be healthier. The weight will probably just come back after awhile, and all that "work" would be a waste of time.
-Neil Baquiran 7th
1)Will they work?
maby, but in the end it looks like its cause you just as much agony as running.
2)If you lose weight from this machine will it last?
probably if you keep it up, but that is only iff you lose weight in the first place
3)Can I eat pizza while I'm using it?
you would have to be a beast.

First of all I have to say that if I walked into a gym with people using this machine I wouldn't be able to do much work because I'd be laughing way too hard. I think that it could work, but I don't think that you would just be able to do this and then expect to lose much weight. You'd have to do other stuff in the gym than just this. Then to answer that last question I doubt you would be able to eat pizza while using this unless you would like to wear it.
Here's my pic of the old vibration belt machines.
http://sportsandfitness1.com/belt-vibration-machine
I think people who use would buy this machine, are just being lazy and don't want to use that money on a gym membership or some running shoes. Either way I wouldn't buy it.
Michael 1st period
I don't think it will help you lose weight your not even exercising.
http://www.diet-blog.com/06/old_school_weight_loss.php
K~Mac, 1st
I feel like people will be able to lose weight if they can maintain there balance on these machines. Some of the new machines require you to step on them as they vibarte and to me that means I'm going to fall off of it while I'm working out. Also, Mrs. L I don't think eating pizza while working out would be the best thing to do, especially on one of these machines.
Here's some links to some pictures of the old vibration machines:

Amanda-1st
I definitely do not think that sitting there on the machine shaking you would help you lose weight. How does that work, and where does it go? It doesn't seem reliable at all. I don't think it would last either, I think that if you were to lose weight, you would gain it back again because you think you can just lose it again.
-Ellen 1st
I really dont know if this thing could work.It is sort of weird.Who just stands there and let a MACHINE shake weight off of them.If you do get it, you should just eat healthy
-TAKARYA TAYLOR 1ST
And I would probably say not to eat pizza while doing it...All the vibrating + pizza might make you queasy? And the machine wouldn't really be doing its job and helping you lose weight.
-Ellen 1st
The real question is how long does it take to actually work the fat off, if it does work??
-TAKARYA TAYLOR 1ST
I think that this vibration machine will not work
Nhi #1
Would you really want your friends and family to know you have one of these? I mean, if you don't mind looking like a goofball doing something useless, I guess it doesn't matter, but... I have serious, generous doubts about the effectiveness of this machine and about the mental status of its users.
Also, if this worked everyone in Louisiana would be at a very healthy weight, because extreme vibrations from cruddy roads should work the same way, right?
Brittany Wells, 4th
I don't think this little vibration thing helps anything to do with losing weight, i just dont se how vibration makes the weight go away
Jeron G. 4th Pd.
no i dont think it could work. i dont see how you can lose weight from the machine vibrating you, that doesnt make sense at all. but yes i am sure you could eat pizza with it, which would be pretty amazing.
Curly 4th
I don't think its going to help you lose wait it will just make you lazier and not want to do anything. And most people wouldn't want to use it because it might be hard to stay on it and some people dont wanna stand up for hours.
-Jacques 4th
I dont think ths thing works it just sounds too good to be true so i bet it wouldnt work. It is just weird but if it worked it would bethe best thing ever for lazy people like me.
Here is a pic of the old one:

I think it doesnt work because how do you supposed to loose weight your not working your body to burn calories so what do you expect from a machine that vibrates only your fat so it's a joke to me just do what anybody is trying to do TO LOOSE WEIGHT EXERCISE!!!!!!!
Marsilo 4th
HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!! they had these at the Houston Rodeo to advertise them to people. OOOEMGEE!! They are amazing!! crazy but amazing. they are kinda like the old timey ones but its not a belt that shakes you, its your feet. the things people invent to help you lose weight amazes me.
The Vibration Exercises help by working the musles out. The devices is dumb because you can just do exercies anywhere and lose weight. you still do work and it does not just magicaly go away. THis thing is nothing new but it will still make money from people.

I dont think personally it would make the weight go away forever. Its a good idea though. How does vibrations cause you to lose weight. If thats the case a massage should cause you to lose weight.

Dante Riggins-4th
I think its pretty weird how it's done to lose weight. Must be pretty lazy to do that rather then the normal way of running and excerising.
-David Radnitzer
-5th
Will they work?
I don't think it will work it doesn't look very effective at all.
If you lose weight from this machine will it last?
The results probably won't be dramatic im sure you'll gain em faster than you were able to lose it.
Can I eat pizza while I'm using it?
you could eat pizza while using it but im sure all the calories from the slice won't be burned off D: just stick to regular exercise people o;
-Ivette F. P.5
I think this is a really cool way to loose weight, but I'm not sure it is effective. I think you would still need to eat right. I don't think it's a good investment because there are other ways to loose weight even though they may be a little more difficult.
-Meleah 5th
i think this is ridiculous!!! what is this world coming to! i honestly dont think it would work....it just shows oure laziness. people would think they could do whatever they want and use this machine, i just dont think it would last. they would probably be getting alot of complaints anout how it isnt workling for them!!
caroline kingham5
i would be able to do an excercise that vibrates because i will get to dizzy, to quick even if i already get dizzy when i excercise.
david b. 5th
I think this product is very....umm different...but I don't think it would be effective. I mean honestly what would standing on this and feeling your body shake solve? It would probably make users with more body fat feel uncomfortable. As far as eatign pizza on it, I think that would be possible. I also think that it would be hard to keep weight off.
Jameika-5th
I think the vibration machine doesnt work because, how can someone loose weight from vibrating? its just another machine to waste your money on.
Darian 5th
wowwwww..... this is fantastically silly. I think this is just a stupid fad that celebs will buy and pretend they got "results" from it.. I don't believe it will actually work and we will soon move on to the next fad.
Rhiannon -5th
it dont work that all i got to say
DRE 5
okay well I dont think the vibrating machines would be very reliable in keeping you "fit" or "thin". Maybe it would get weight off, but i'm sure it would come right back as soon as you start eating normally with no actual exercise. As for eating pizza on it, I guess it would be okay but thats just another fatty food to getting right back where you were before using the machine.
Ellen Ash-5th
wow... what happened to working out like normal people and just going running and lifting weights.
Osman 5th
I don't think it'll work because if you actually want to lose weight you have to put effort in it. No, I don't think it'll last because if it doesn't work then it won't last. Pizza? Really? If you want to lose weight then I don't think you should be eating pizza.
-Diana 7th pd.
Ah...What to say...HA! This is absolutely RIDICULOUS. Haha. I have nothing positive to say.

i think this is the lamest thing ever not only does it look like it does nothing but you look pretty lame on that thing. Even if it was popular i would not do it because it looks lame.
m.huesca 7th
My opinnion is that everyone is trying to get fit but they don't want to put forth the effort in order to achieve the physique they're striving for. This machine will more than likely not work becacuse of the ridiculous steps you have to follow. If you do not keep working out the weight will come back, and eating pizza will just take away your workout and put back caliores that your trying to lose.
Dylan-7th
i think this is sofunny to watch and even if u dont loose weight by doing it you will loose weight rolling on the groud laughing.
i expect the tears of lafter are 5 grams each and the mucel contractions are at least a few calories.
michi-7
I'm pretty sure this method of marketting is the same used for selling bogus medicine. Its allin your head. This wont make you lose wieght and you cant eat pizza on it and its not worth the money.
I guess it could work in a way considering it makes you move without really moving. I don't think that should be the only thing to work out with cause it'll probably help you lose weight but most likely not much. I don't think it would really help much.
-Destiny 8th
i think it would work while youre eating pizza cuz its moving you and making you loose calories as you eat.i personally wouldnt use it because i wouldnt like the feel of it.
jasmine-8
wow these things are dumb because i dont think that vibrations can make u loose weight and yes i think u can eat pizza on mrs.L
I think they might work but I dont think the results will last very long.

I can kind of see how this shaking machine could work but just like any other diet/excercise if you do not continue to do it, you will gain your weight back.
-Kacy 8th
This idea just seems very ineffective, and there isn't a lot of information on the site about HOW it works. This makes me think that it's a lot of hype and empty words, but the idea is pretty hilarious nonetheless. I don't feel like it's going to catch on, despite the website's claim that "whole body vibration training has hit the mainstream." It's just too sketchy and different; people aren't going to trust it.

I have to say that idea is pretty hilarious i dont know why anyone would want one of those. Not my kind of workout machine.
-Juanita 8th
I don't think that would work very well. I mean, if it didn't work back then what's gonna make it work now? I still think the best way to lose weight is good old fashioned exercise.
Trenton Birdwell - 8th
i think most of the machines are just lies the only one i think it would really work its the Vibrodisc because your are excersicing more than only being sitting down or standing up.
I still think you do most of the work so i dont think they work

http://cdn.cnwimg.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/old-vibrating-belt.jpg?cda6c1
Im not sure if this would really work. i do no understand the science behind it. I would think that it is just the actual exercises they do while they are on it that is making them lose weight more so than the actual machine. Like the machine would give the people an idea that it will help them lose weight and will give them incitive to work out or whatever. Butttttttt again, i do not understand the science. It would be cool to do expirements on this mug
sam 8
i think it might work because there is alot of different stuff out there that people loss might with thats ridicious like everyone has different bodiees .

I think the vibrating thing is not a good idea, because it yea it might work and get people to loose weight. But that makes people look lazy they should be active and actually excersing!.. nelis 8th.

well this is funny =) I dont't that it will help you lose weight at all cause where would it all go. you just need t do real exercises and why would you want to eat pizza and do that at the same time like yeah not a good combination.

This machine looks interesting but i'm not sure it can function well especially beacause it didnt work in the past

This product is ridiculous. Honestly. Forget this vibrating nonsense. Go run or swim or do some sort of physical activity with a group of friends, not just stand there and let a machine move you.

P.S. Mrs. L this is such a hard product to talk about and not say something that sounds sexual xD I had to rewrite this around three times because everything sounded dirty.
