Fit and Trim is a balanced, no-impact “work-out” that provides cardiovascular, immune, muscle, joint, skin, and weight loss benefits as a part of a healthy eating and exercise lifestyle and as a stand alone therapy for those unable to perform traditional exercises.
Step 1 - Whole Body Vibration (WBV)
| WBV exercise began with the space industry in their efforts to find an exercise to help astronauts maintain their bone density in space. Since that time there have been many other applications and benefits: |
 |
Improved bone mineral density in a population with already thinning bones. |
|
Improved balance. |
|
Improved flexibility. |
|
Improved muscle strength. |
|
Improvement in chronic muscle pain and fatigue. |
|
Provides an aerobic form of exercise to those who may otherwise have no ability to perform traditional exercises. |
This step begins the process of warming the body and stimulating the circulation in order to enhance the Far Infrared Sauna treatment that follows. Slow exercises and stretches are performed while standing on the board. (5-15 min)
Step 2 - Far Infrared Deep Heating Therapy
 Far infrared heat therapy is a calming, relaxing deep and soothing warmth that benefits your body by virtue of its heat and the sweat it induces. While listening to your favorite music, reading a book, or visiting with a friend your body will be hard at work, getting the benefits of a 3 mile jog!! Your body will burn 300-600 calories, increase its core temperature, raise its basal metabolic rate, boost its immune system, and work its cardiovascular system.

Step 3 - Passive Aerobic Swing Exercise
This is a form of passive aerobic exercise. As you lay down and put your ankles in the cradles and allow the machine to swing you back and forth, your body will benefit from:
| |
|
Improved lymphatic drainage. |
| |
|
Improved blood flow. |
| |
|
Stretching and relaxing of spinal muscles. |
This is the cool-down phase and will help your transition from the intense cardiovascular workout of the FIR sauna. By providing a passive gentle stimulation to the blood circulation, lymph flow and muscles there is a gentle slow down, relaxation, and cool down. It also augments the deep relaxation and healing that was begun in the muscles by the FIR sauna. (5 - 15 min)
