Waist-Burning Machines

The waist is one of the most common areas where people would like to shed weight and fat. Millions are spent each year on dietary pills that are marketed to help people in this quest. But when pills aren't the answer, and when aerobics are too demanding, people often turn to exercise equipment to help get the job done. These machines can range from abdominal belts to traditional exercise gear.

  1. Ultrasound Machines

    • Ultrasound fat burning machines, such as the vacuum cavitation system developed by the Foshan Nanhai Viya Beauty Equipment Factory, work to improve the metabolism in body tissue while eliminating cellulite. Strong sound waves are emitted from the machine to vibrate fat cells, which essentially causes them to rupture. This helps to eliminate fat while firming muscles. The ultrasound machine can also increase muscle flexibility. In addition to the waist, it can be used on the arms, legs, buttocks and back.

    Ab Belt

    • Ab toning belts, like the Flex Pro Abdominal Muscle Toner, help reduce waist size via deep electronic muscle stimulation. This creates comfortable contractions in the muscles. These belts are designed to help the body mimic natural muscle movements, which engage the nerves to control muscles and cause them to contract. The device is worn around the waist like a belt and works the entire abdominal area.

    The Treadmill

    • The most tried-and-true formula for eliminating abdominal fat is to perform lots of cardiovascular exercise. The treadmill caters to this requirement, as users can walk and run at designated paces while using it. As people burn fat, skin becomes tighter. And as the fat disappears from effective exercise, people appear more toned. Cardiovascular exercise, like that of which can be done on a treadmill, should be performed five days a week, for at least 20 minutes per day, for best results.

    Elliptical Machines

    • Like the treadmill, the elliptical machine is predicated on the idea that the best workout is one that exercises the full body rather than one particular area. Elliptical machines work both the lower and upper body muscles. They can be used to simulate stair climbing, walking and running. Elliptical machines also feature handle bars to involve the upper body in such activity.
