Vacu-Step Butt Vacuum Elliptical?

I just looked at the manufacturers website and they mainly market it to Salons, Spas and Tanning Salons.

I am sure I could make one of these at home with a garbage bag and my dyson. Score!

I'm on my way! I have 10 lbs of fat to lose.
I'll bring ketchup chips and apples for your trouble!

Do they make an attachment for men? The Vacu-BJ-Elliptical. LOLOLOL!!!!

As someone else said, spot-treatment is a red flag, but if your aim is to diminish the appearance of cellulite rather than reduce fat, there is some science behind the machine's vacuum-method.

That said, as far as I can tell, the vacuum-suction is supposed to encourage circulation. Some experts do link increased circulation to decreased cellulite (and vice-versa), but as far as I can find online, there hasn't been any study to evaluate the effectiveness of the machine on reducing cellulite.

Plus, you usually have to pay for 10-20 sessions rather than a few trials, which can be very expensive.

In sum, no I would not try this, it seems like yet another gimmicky machine for women desperate to reduce the appearance of their cellulite.

Went to www.fitforherokc.com to learn more.

First sentence: "The problem with the current method of losing weight in the thighs and hips are simple"... um no, the problem with this is noun/verb agreement.

LOL's!

It's actually an all women gym.

Perhaps tell them you have cellulite on your family jewels.

:laugh:

Golf balls!

Oh my.... there's an entire site on the Vacu-Step...

The problem:
You keep to your diet and exercise, yet there is hardly any success visible in the desired areas such as hips, buttocks, thighs.
As soon as those fat layers have been built up a magic cycle starts: The ìblown upî fat cells press onto the blood vessels and interfere with a proper cleaning process of the lymph system. The inadequate blood circulation impairs the reduction of fat and the discharge of waste liquid out of the connective tissue

Yup... sounds legit.

I think my body missed that memo...

If you do this, keep us posted. LOl

lmao i'm so glad I came in here

I used the Vacustep when stationed in Germany. I used it for 2 months (it's funny the gym there had 22 of the machines). Every one I spoke with at the gym swore by them, so I tried it. I'm 6'2 and had spongy fat on my upper thighs and stomach from where I used to be pretty heavy. I was really impressed. I used the elliptical in the machine for 30 minutes with the vacuum on pretty low at first, very tough workout it's like doing an elliptical in waist deep water. I lost the spongy feeling skin around my thighs and waist. I haven't found one here in the U.S. I can use and if I did it would have to be in a room by itself so I Wouldent get my a*& ripped for looking so dumb. Hard for me to believe in Germany the whole gym's were centered around these machines. It's like the treadmill is here in the U.S. I give it 2 thumbs up but would not suggest trying to pick up any Ladies when using this type of machine it just looks too (^&(** funny. Thanks for posting the link to see it again. http://www.mademoiselleokc.com/North-Location-Page.html
