Has anyone heard of T zone?

Munchkinxoxo

Keep hearing all the hype about tzone...(vibrating machine...stand on a plate that shakes ya..) and works all your muscles. Has anyone had success with it? or is it jus a fad? have tried it a couple times...i do go to gym 3 times a week...not looking for quick fixes..but wondering if its worth getting a membership for. :ohwell:

sounds like a "full body shake weight"...AKA commercial crap designed to get people to give up their money for little to no results....

But I never heard of it so I could be wrong, it's just what it sounds like

I am a member of T-Zone in my town, I have been there since Oct 12/2011.
When I was last measured on Jan 12 I was down over all 15.5 inches.
I can see a difference and I also feel better about my self.

There is no membership fee that I like, just a monthly cost.

seniorbabe

As I just joined this site yesterday ...how do you count T-Zone for exercise??

seniorbabe

As of October I have lost 21.5 inches over all Then since Jan 03 I have been counting calories and have lost 10 lbs. Today was weigh in day for me...I stayed the same but muscle is heavier than fat... I do see a difference in my close and heck even my huibby commented so that is a bonus:)

I get measured at T-Zone Gin around the 12 of March.
But I did not how to add the exercise in on here?

The T-Zone is a huge load of crap. If anyone seriously thinks they can get a decent work out by just standing in place and being shaken around get a bus pass and ride the bus around town all day. You will save money and not look like a fool.

There are two major work outs in this world aerobic and anaerobic. Being jostled around is neither.

but muscle is heavier than fat...

Wrong. If i have a 1 ton elephant and 1 ton of feathers which is heavier? A: they both weigh the same.

If i have 5 pounds of fat, and 5 pounds of muscle which weighs more? A: They are both the same.

Troll detected. That's just too many troll-worthy things in one to be a coincidence.

Sounds like she sells T-Zone or has stock in T-Zone.... I don't know why anyone else would lie.

vvv

seniorbabe

I do not sell or have stocks... I am 62 years old and I find T-Zone works for me. I am quite happy sorry you feel I am not telling the truth. I know this works for me and that is all that matters...Have a great day (hugs)

seniorbabe

I guess my wording was wrong, what I was looking for was how to add the exercise in

seniorbabe

Unsure if you are meaning I am a troll, but then as I said I am 62 and I do not always understand new words as no young kids around to educate me.

I did find out today that T-Zone does not burn that many calories and I was counting way to many calories burnt

However other than walking that is my only exercise I have been doing...

Have a great weekend :0)

Actually, the research on vibrating plates has shown some clear benefits in specific performance areas--it seems like there are a couple of power-plate research articles in every issue of the Journal of Strength and Conditioning. And another group that seems to benefit is sedentary older adults. So I suspect that the positive testimonial is based on some perceived benefit as well as modest physical benefits as well.

Thank you

Have a t zone vibration machine in my home. My blood pressure has gone from high to normal since using it faithfully. Not a lot of weight loss but my clothes are fitting better.

seniorbabe

Glad to hear, I have lost 10 lbs but the toning is what looks good... one inch at a time. Good luck Shirley

seniorbabe

Hi Shirley
Just wanted to let you know I was down 3 inches this past month, I am now down 26 overall inches since Oct 12/2011

shirleycottrell

Senior babe. Good job. Since 2 Jan I am down 14 lbs and 14.5 inches. Let's keep going

seniorbabe

We are close running with lbs lost and inches ...

but have you been on a city bus lately? It's a great workout for the "core", or you'll fall on your butt.

Seriously does anyone know how to calculate how many calories are burned during a T-zone or vibration machine session? I personally have lost a bra and jean size in just a few months on the machine, if nothing else it tones and promotes good circulation and I did this after knee surgery. In fact, I sat in a chair with my foot on the plate to get the blood flowing shortly after surgery.

The t-zone is not a lot of crap. It works on the same principle as a trampoline. It was invented to help astronauts to keep their muscle tone while in space. It helps with strengthening muscles and bone and helps with the lymph glands. My husband has a bad back and it has helped him a lot with dealing with the pain and strengthening his back muscles. The t-zone is not meant to be a high calorie burner or a cardiovascular exerciser. It's more for strength and well being. I would guess that you aren't burning a lot of calories on it. I wouldn't count it as a form of exercise.

there's an article on livestrong showing estimated calorie burn:

P.S. For those of you who've lost weigtht and inches, you've been watching your food intake too, correct? Remember exercise is for fitness and only has so much to do with weight loss so the fact that you're eating better probably has more to do with your lost pounds and inches than your time on the T-Zone, especially since it doesn't burn a whole lot of calories. Just sayin...
