VacuStep: How it Works

June 18, 2008

Hey! Since I always get a lot of questions about how Vacu Step works I went searching for a good explanation that would really help you understand. After some web surfing, I found this on another website dedicated to VacuStep. I hope it helps answer some of your questions. 

How It Works

During typical aerobic/cardio exercise, the body temperature decreases in the stomach, buttocks, hips and thighs because blood typically flows away from the skin and into muscles. Blood must be available to transport the required fat for the muscles to burn as energy. When you are able to increase the blood circulation in the lower body while doing a low impact workout, you increase the chances for fat to be transported to the muscles to burn as energy.

The Vacu Step® is designed to incorporate the necessary combination of muscle movement and gentle vacuum technology to help improve blood circulation in the stomach, legs, hips and buttocks.

Vacu Step® is designed to use reduced partial air pressure with the gentle vacuum technology to encourage the blood to flow more effectively to the outer layers of skin tissue. By increasing the blood circulation while using the Vacu Step ®, so too are the nutrients, amino acids, and oxygen delivered throughout the lower body and into the cells — helping to fuel metabolism.

The movement of the elliptical trainer helps to keep the heart rate in the optimal fat-burning zone. The heart rate is monitored, allowing you to maintain a rate that encourages burning fat as prime fuel as opposed to carbohydrates. Pulse rate can be controlled with the rate of workout on the machine. To illustrate: A woman who is 36 years of age should stick to an optimal heart rate between110 to 128 while on the machine. A woman who is 55 years of age will be asked to keep her heart rate in a range of 99 to 116. This is typically a lower range than in other forms of aerobic exercise like running or cycling. There is a certain amount of oxygen that your body needs in order to start burning fat and the only way for you to measure the amount needed for your own body is to keep up with your target heart rate during exercise.

In addition, the vacuum encourages an optimal blood circulation in the space between the cells.

The result is a possible reduction in circumference of stomach, hips, legs and buttocks as the cells release the surplus fat and toxins.
 
Net:

  • Reshapes thighs, hips, waist, stomach & buttocks.

  • Reduce appearance of cellulite

  • A 30 minute, low impact workout per session.

  • By increasing blood circulation, results can be seen with far less effort than that of normal fat-burning training

  • Results usually seen between the 2nd and 4th week

  • Five sessions a week typically yields maximum results, if you are on a strict diet and exercise regimen already, you can sign up for an average of three sessions a week

  • Eating the right, healthy diet and making this an add-on will typically produce the best possible results for you.

Hey! Maison Du Soleil carries Royal Touch anit-wrinkle serum! Have you heard about this yet? It’s pretty awesome and my new fav thing at the shop!

I tried it out because it claims to stimulate collagen growth and reduce deep wrinkles and fine lines, but mostly because of the ingredient list . Royal Touch has marine collagen, which is better than the bovine collagen that some products use becuase it’s more easily absorbed by the skin. It’s also got Hexapeptide 3 and DMAE which, if you’ve read any articles or books about skin care and maintaining your youthful look, are two really important ingredients for keeping your skin from sagging.

And now that I’ve tried Royal Touch I’m impressed! I’ve already seen improvements in the skin around my eyes after just a few weeks. And since Royal Touch is a serum and not a heavy lotion it doesn’t make me break out like SO MANY wrinkle creams do! It’s really helped solve that problem for me.

I’m glad I tried it because I like it so much that I’m gonna keep on using it! Check it out at Maison Du Soleil in the boutique upfront and give it a try for yourself!

 

PS….its’ not expensive either!  :P
