Everyone considers health to be an important asset. We not only keep healthy by eating a good diet but also by physical activity. Often, however, physical activity loses out. We spend our days at work, while our evenings are filled with social commitments. Humans usually experience a gradual decline in physical performance from around the age of 35. How this develops depends on lifestyle. Major research has shown that a conditional decline of 1% a year can occur from the age of 25. It has also been shown that regular exercise can delay the process. Around the age of 40, we reach our maximum strength capacity; loss of strength will subsequently be most strongly seen in the leg and trunk muscles. Any form of training slows down this loss. Muscle tissue, joints and tendons lose their elasticity and suppleness with age, causing people to become less supple. As one gets older, the muscle mass declines and the amount of body fat increases. The BodyShaker can have great results, even if one starts later on in life. Your flexibility increases and the resulting production of collagen improve your appearance. Using the Bodyshaker you can do all the floor exercises you used to do. However you can now enhance your workout externally without having to lift heavy weights. When you do such an exercise dynamically for 1 minute, it has the same effect as 30 lunges with a heavy pole on one’s neck.
