Toning Tables at Van's Beautique



I spent some time talking to Vanessa at Van's Beautique today- and she showed me the toning tables in the salon, and gave me a demonstration- WOW- I "did" a bunch of sit ups- with the help of the table- on my own I am sorry to say I would have trouble with one or two! Van sais when she first got the tables, she was religous about using them 3 times a week, and would use the time to nap- and the results were amazing. I had seen a piece on TV a couple of months ago about these- and how they were the rage among movie stars-and was shocked to find them here in Wallace. Van's Beautique is located at 105 E Main St- Call her at 910-285-3636 get more info on these wonderful machines..... I did some research on the whole idea- and here is what I found....

Benefits of Therapeutic Exercise Machines
*Machines are a combination of Isometric exercise movements and physical therapy.
*Firms, tones and strengthens muscles giving the skin a smooth, tight appearance.
*Reduces and often completely eliminates cellulite.
*You do not work up a sweat:
*Regular street clothes can be worn.
*No showering is necessary after machines.
*Saves time and reduces commotion, no need to re-do!
*Only three 60 minute treatments per week
*Pay per session choose a monthly payments plan.
*Results are seen quickly, motivation to continue is very high, drop out rate is low.
*Muscles remain firm and toned because the program is based on isometric range of motion exercise movements.
*Exercising is painless, easy for everyone of all ages, fun, people look forward to coming in for their next treatment!

Why These Machines Work
Therapeutic Exercise Machines utilize a combination of physical therapy and isometric exercise movements, so people of all ages regardless of health issues or limitations can use them. Every person works at their own endurance level, putting as much effort into each range of motion exercise as they are able. Because of the high number of evenly measured repetitions achieved by using each of these machines, 2 hours a week on these machines is equal to 14 hours of strenuous traditional exercise. Positive results are seen quickly, providing increased motivation to continue. Since the machines are motorized, a gentle rhythmic vibration is felt throughout the entire body. This vibration reduces and often completely eliminates cellulite which is unheard of by doing any traditional exercise program. Isometric exercises actually strengthen internal muscles such as the heart and lungs, providing an even greater health benefit. These machines help a person increase flexibility, improve blood circulation and increase energy while strengthening muscles and reducing inches. The tremendous increase in blood circulation that occurs by using these machines has helped many people with diabetic neuropathy.
