Build bone, lose fat....
Ride a Segway!
Just caught this on NPR.... http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...oryId=15721992 They should do a study on segway owners, before/during ownership!

Not that the overall concept is a bad thing. Vibration therapy could help many that have lost weight but have trouble keeping it off. When you read the line about the effectiveness of standing on a vibrating platform with a handle attached for 15 minutes every day, it's very easy to make the conceptual leap to that of riding on a PT. So riding a PT with knobby tires would be a component of an overall plan to loose fat, but it's greatest effect would be that of preventing additional fat build-up. Other conventional fat-burning activities such as exercise would also have to be part of the plan. And yes, there does seem to be a bit of circumstantial evidence in the form of testimonials on this board about the weight loss - PT riding connection. |
