Just reading about it now - it sound like another scam.
I've seen no evidence it makes a difference if to normal exercise.
I suspect they get the lazy element who don't work out that often, then claim any result is due to the machine.
They also tell you not to eat carbohydrates for a period after exercise. This would help you lose weight anyway.
Here is a quote from askmen.com.
http://au.askmen.com/sports/bodybuilding/22_fitnes s_tip.html
"...but most have a layer of body fat hiding them, (muscles). Removing this layer is going to be about 90% dietary effort and 10% exercise".
Body builders already know this, which is why the use special diets to make their muscles prominent.
There is this page,
http://bodylab.com.au/site/hypoxi/science, which is quite hilarious as it doesn't give much evidence and keeps referring to "circumference".
Well if you reduce your salt intake you will lose water and therefore weight and "circumference". It is possible to determine how much fat the body is actually burning while exercising.
Anyway, a big marketing push is on = http://www.inboxmarketing.com.au/Latest/Hypoxi-Bod y-Shaping.html
The use of pseudo-scientific language and testimonials and impressive looking machines is a clear sign this is purely marketing.
Save your money, buy a pair of shoes or bike, and take the dog for a walk, watch your diet.
Having said that, I expect this wasn't a genuine question, but just another way to generate talk about the product.
In fact, looking at the posts again, it seems the questioner answered his own question, (within minutes!), telling us,
"Yes, we have three studios in Brisbane called body designers..." ROFLMAO
And the other posters...bleh, what sycophancy!
Anyway, don't be sucked in. |

Hi there,
I have just returned from the UK where everyone is talking about this fat and cellulite reduction treatment. It couples exercise with a vacuum therapy and people over there swear that it works. Robbie Williams has purchased his own machine because he believes it it so much. I am always very skeptical about these things, but everything i have read (and it has been a lot) says that it is the most effective cellulite and fat burning treatment around. I am interested to see if anyone has actually used it as you can't always believe what you read. If you want further info i went to www.vacunaut.co.uk
I have heard it is now available in oz. |
