Vibration Exercise Machine - Haven't We Done This Before?

Vibraslim has just launched a vibrating platform for exercising. Other companies make it for around $5,500, but they have a version that sells for only $1,699. I don't know if this is trying to become a trend or not, but I am having flashbacks of another machine years ago.

Anyway, I'm sure this is totally different, or at least I hope it is. Their claims about the machine are:

This advanced technology allows you to burn fat and cellulite, increases Human
Growth Hormone, increases muscle strength, increase metabolism, build bone
density, and improve flexibility.

They claim that a ton of celebrities have used the machine, but that's up to you to determine what that's worth to the story. One last claim about the history of it.

History of Whole Body Vibration

Vibration Exercise technology is supported by decades of scientific research,
originating with the Soviet Space Program, which pioneered the technology now
applied in the fields of health and fitness. Russian scientists discovered that
cosmonauts that spent extended amounts of time in space experienced significant
loss in bone density and muscle tissue due to the lack of gravity. Russian
researchers were led to experiment with Vibration Exercise technology, finding
that by using this equipment they could not only stopped the loss, but amazingly
increase bone density and strengthen muscle tissue.

Using Vibration Exercise technology, the Russians were able to set a record
of more than 420 days in outer space. Our American astronauts, training on
conventional fitness equipment, were forced to return after just 120 days due to
bone and muscle degeneration. It wasn’t until after the fall of the Iron Curtain
that Vibration Exercise technology found its way to other countries. Today NASA
fully embraces Vibration Exercise technology with much success.
