Weight Loss
FLEXI-BAR exercises for weight loss will help you lose weight and keep it off. The secret of any great weight loss story is 
always the same - if your calorie intake is less than your calorie expenditure, you will lose weight. Of course you can lose weight by ONLY reducing your calorie intake,
or ONLY increasing your calorie expenditure, however the most efficient way to lose weight is to do both at the same time.
Incorporating FLEXI-BAR® workouts into your weight loss regime will help you burn more fat.
Whether you are slightly overweight or clinically obese, you can use FLEXI-BAR® safely and effectively in the comfort of your own home. With little or no impact on the joints, FLEXI-BAR® is also suitable for overweight individuals who have mobility problems. As you lose weight and become more mobile, the FLEXI-BAR® will also grow with you. As your fitness increases, you can choose more difficult exercises and swinging ranges.
Increase Your Metabolic Rate
By adding FLEXI-BAR® to your exercise regime, you are activating more muscles throughout each exercise. Performing an exercise like squats activates the muscles of the legs, bottom and lower back.
However, by adding the FLEXI-BAR®, you also activate the muscles that attach to the spine (there are a lot of them), plus the muscles of the chest, back, shoulders and arms. If you can recruit more muscles into performing an exercise you will expend more energy. If you expend more energy, you will burn more calories. Therefore squatting with a FLEXI-BAR® is more efficient at burning fat than performing a squat without or without weights.
FLEXI-BAR is a fat burning workout due the extra muscles involved in completeing each exercise.
Aiming to increase your metabolic rate will help you lose weight and keep it off.
Your muscles will also continue burning calories for up to 24 hours after a workout as they repair and rebuild themselves. So not only is your calorie expenditure greater while you exercise, it is also higher for the next 24 hours after your workout has finished.
Exercise Efficiency
Vibration training with FLEXI-BAR® has the added benefit of being an extremely efficient form of training. This is due to the effectiveness of each 
muscular contraction. Traditional forms of resistance training (like lifting weights) only activate between 40-60% of a muscle's fibre. In comparison, Vibration Training activates up to 100% of a muscle's fibre.
This increased level of activation, combined with an increased number of muscles being recruited, has an even greater effect on your body's ability to burn calories. If you are trying to lose weight, FLEXI-BAR® will help you achieve your goals in a fast, efficient and safe way.
