Staying fit during the warmer months is easy. You find yourself outdoors, walking through the neighborhood, attending community and cultural events and fairs. Maybe you go camping, hiking or just ride your bicycle more. Once the weather turns colder, however, getting up the initiative to go outside and exercise can be become a much different story.

How many times have you worked out, gotten into shape, enjoyed being active all summer long, only to lose it all over the winter months? It is a common problem that now has a simple solution: whole body vibration and good, healthy habits.

Health Is The Highest Priority

Good health is not an overnight success story. Good health is the result of many positive choices over a long period of time. Do not punish yourself simply because you cannot change your body in only a few days.

The first healthy habit you need to develop is to stay hydrated. This means consuming at least eight glasses of water each and every day. The next step is to pay attention to what you eat. Whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables and healthy oils, such as olive and canola oil, should make up the majority of your daily diet.

This means all those delicious Italian pasta dishes packed with tomatoes and broccoli are actually some of the healthiest meals around, if you use whole grain pasta instead of the "white starch" variety. Traditional Chinese and Japanese meals are also very healthy if you exchange the white rice for whole grain, brown rice. Whatever you are eating, take the time to chew and enjoy your food properly; it will help you to feel full sooner.

Keep Moving Whenever You Can

Whole body vibration (WBV) uses the fact that increased circulation means the body burns more calories, no matter what you are doing. WBV machines generate whole body vibration, stimulating blood flow, increasing your heart rate and improving your entire cardiovascular system all while you enjoy the comfort, convenience and warmth of your home. You can use your vibration machine as you watch television, work on the computer or enjoy a good book.

You don't have to run a marathon to get healthy. Consider taking a nightly after dinner stroll around the block, using the stairs instead of an elevator, riding a bike or swimming a few laps. Whatever activities you enjoy, the important point is that you do them regularly to keep using your muscles. Every movement you make burns calories. As the blood flow to your muscles increases, your heart and lungs must work harder, which also burns calories. This is the basic premise behind the highly successful whole body vibration weight loss program.

Staying hydrated, eating a healthy diet and keeping your body in motion will provide you with long term health and fitness improvements. Using a whole body vibration machine can allow you to maintain your fitness level through the cold winter months without having to deal with bad weather or difficult roads.

You can use your whole body vibration machine as frequently as you need to and it won't require an extra room addition to your home. Many of us simply do not have the time or the dedication required to use a gym regularly. The whole body vibration machine provides you with the convenience, the privacy and ease of use you need to make it a regular part of your fitness program.
